#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

Gorgeous. I've only just started wandering into the realms of 18thC fashion, having been more of a Regency girl up until now. Very satisfying.
