This was very interesting. Doda compares probate records, visitors’ impressions, and the archaeological record to show the extent to which Acadians hewed to French styles, developed their own, and borrowed from indigenous folks. #textilehistory

I posted to my IG account today about one of two early #17thC silk gowns discovered in the so-called Palmwood Wreck in 2014. Both are currently on display at Museum Kaap Skil on Texel in the Netherlands. Incredibly rare and incredibly beautiful. Utterly entrancing. www.instagram.com/p/Czd0xNaICBF/

A mid #18thC infant's cap with insertations of Hollie-point. This example is Scottish, specifically Glaswegian, which suggests Hollie-point was not "peculiarly English" as per published literature. #18thcentury #historicaldress #18thcenturylace #dresshistory #textilehistory #ScottishHistory

#FridayFancies #FridayNightFrills Obsessed with this 1740s "tight back" aka English Gown at the MFA (Access. No. 43.1642a-b), altered from a long sack. I love the extravagant scale of the brocaded silk & the generous silhouette! #18thcentury #fashion #historicaldress #dresshistory #textilehistory
