One Dress a Day Challenge

June: Weddings

Victoria (s1e5, "An Ordinary Woman") / Jenna Coleman as Queen Victoria and Tom Hughes as Prince Albert

Here is the TV version of Queen Victoria's wedding dress. Since it's based on an existing garment, it's pretty close to the version worn by Emily Blunt in The Young Victoria, but in this case we get to see a few more angles. (Here's a link to a high-res version of the display picture.) Also, we get some nice shots of Albert's dashing uniform.

See below for a painting of the actual event for comparison.

A truly delightful illustration of Gentlemen's Fashions for January 1832: Morning & Evening Dresses (V&A). It rewards detailed views of the gentlemen and their accessories, which include a quizzing glass, spurs, and embroidered stockings.

The fashion twins: one wearing "The Turf" as The Whole Art of Dress (1830) refers to the style of hat with a more narrow crown.

The man in morning dress wears spurs, and his companion in evening dress has embroidered stockings with his dress shoes.

The Romantic Fashion Era

Jan Adam Kruseman (Dutch, 1804-1862) • Portrait of Alida Christina Assink • 1833 • Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

The sitter for this portrait is dressed in classic Romantic style. The leg-o-mutton sleeves and pelerine (lace covering over the shoulders) create the width at at the top of the outfit that characterized the silhouette of a women's outfit.

From 1830 to about 1835, fashion was all about extravagant proportions in the shoulders and a tiny waist accentuated further with a belt or sash.

Notice Alida Christina's hair – straight on the upper third of the head, ending with a pouf of curls on each side. It's difficult to tell what is hair and what is a dark ribbon in the portrait, though it was common for the hair to be formed into a top-knot and decorated with ribbon, feathers and fancy pins, in addition to the curls in other locations on the head. It must've taken hours to achieve such perfection and I can imagine the frustration for the girls and women whose hair wouldn't cooperate! Not to mention the frazzled nerves of a poor lady's maid.

The Rijksmuseum website has a biographical snippet of Alida Christina Assink:

This portrait of Alida Assink presents her in her finest attire, depicted from head to toe. That is quite exceptional, as the painter Kruseman typically reserved such a full-length portrait exclusively for royalty. Assink was 23 years old when this likeness was commissioned by her guardian, a wealthy landowner. The rural setting with hunting dog and garden vase harks back to the English portrait style, which Kruseman admired.

Li made a joke about braiding each other's hair(if I remember correctly), and listen, my Speaker has very long hair and she is very much willing to make it everybody's problem.

Sooo, how would the ROs + Seer to Speaker bullying them into helping with their hair? As in brushing, braiding, putting some accessories and stuff

I think all of them would be willing to help if you asked for it. Seer is probably used to it by now and would do so even without you asking

as for how good at it any of them would be...

best to worse at braiding/styling hair:

Kana - Seer - Li - Sebastian - Azalea - Rory

Kana is very particular about their hair, so they spend a lot of time on it. A lot of this has to do with the fact that their hair floats, and if not meticulously styled it's always in their face. So they're very knowledgeable and can help fix your hair with minimal fuss or trouble.

Seer would be the most familiar with Speaker's hair texture (since it's the same as hers) and what styles you like. Plus, her hair's long too, so she has lots of practice at braiding it.

Li is the one to go to for help dying or cutting your hair, but they can do some styles too. But are you sure you can trust them not to do something weird to it?

Sebastian takes good care of his own hair, but doesn't have much practice doing other people's hair. Can manage a simple braid or ponytail. He's definitely the one you want to go to for help brushing it, though. Very gentle, but efficient.

Azalea doesn't pay much attention to how her hair looks, as long as it's clean and not in her way, so her braids may not be the tidiest, but she can do them.

Rory is the most low maintenance person you'll ever meet. Their hair has been short since they were a kid, and they're the kind of person to style it by running their fingers through it and calling it good enough. It'll be a fun experience, probably, but I can't promise results.

#speaker game #all ros #kana #li cowles #sebastian wynric #azalea mirin #rory kane #the seer #just as a note: li would never cut dye or do anything permanent to your hair as a joke #but like... anything else is fair game #you say 'can you braid my hair?' and next thing you know you have one of those absolutely ridiculous 1830s styles #(if you don't know what those are google '1830's hair' it's worth it trust me)

Headcanon.

Solas isn't technically bald, he just shaves, and he's very metycolous about it.

This because he's not accustomed to modern hairstyles, has no idea how modern elves keep their hair or how to style it properly for the desired, contemporary effect; he found no beauty influencer spirit with a tutorial in the Fade.

So after he woke up he just... Did what he was used to.

So the corrispondent of being there minding your own business, when suddenly a man in weird, EXTREMELY old-fashioned handlebar moustaches approaches you, looking like this:

And he just starts explaining you, in extremely circonvoluted sentences in a weird pronounciation, it is your language but not quite so, that all you know about your culture is wrong.

He escaped the clan after they kicked him out thinking he was a spy from either Tevinter (because the archaic language) or Orlais (because fancy hair), and started to grudge.

And decided to just... Get rid of the issue with a razor.

Friendly Lavellan: "Can you help me with my hair?"

Solas: ............... No, Da'len.

Lavellan: :( But in my clan we always did each other's hair! Are you not capable of braiding?

Solas: .... I am, but- ehr...

Lavellan: *sad puppy eyes*

Solas: ... Ok, come here.

#dragon age inquisition #solas #dragon age headcanon #handlebar moustaches were the most ridiculous looking style I could think of #for man at least for women nothing beats 1830 english styles #I love handlebar moustaches don't get me wrong #it's just... Anacronystic seeing them on someone today #which is a shame please bring handlebar moustaches and capes back in fashion YOU COWARDS #I got up too early this morning and spent the morning teaching italian in russian and english my brain is dead don't mind me

[autismcupcake]

Just put on the finishing touches and ears I forgot to this so!!! Welcome to my favorite things of past styles I desperately want to see back put together in the most ridiculous way featuring the only and only Oleander Rockridge!

[ID: a drawing of Oleander Rockridge, a pale thin person with lots of freckles, black hair and red eyes. He is wearing light blue, wide bell bottoms with a regency waistline, directly under the bust, and a red 1890s jacket with a very large sleeve puff at the top with close fitting sleeves the rest of the way down over a light gray top. He is also wearing a medium sized ruff. His hair is in an elaborate 1830s style with very full curls on either side in the front, with a large bun, a braid looped into it on one side and a tall loop on the top. There are several flowers tucked into various places in his hair. There are several arrows labeling each aspect. Most simply state what they are, though the label for 1830s hair is written bigger than the others with several exclamation points. The arrow pointing to the end of the bell bottoms has a specification in parentheses reading "smaller is fine but I like SWOOSH" with the word swoosh in all caps. End ID]

This took FOREVER but it was a lot of fun and I'll definitely make more because I have very many opinions on the best trends in fashion history and like to draw them

#I didn't think this was as ridiculous as I hoped but our sibling said it was extremely ridiculous but in a girlboss way #which was exactly what I needed so shout out our sibling #I love drawing Oleander but I think drawing 1830s styles for him is a little hard because of his hair color #but this was a lot of fun #took a lot longer because I just Could Not get the bell bottoms right and I'm still kinda not super pleased with them #but good enough! #tommy art #oleander rockridge

One Dress a Day Challenge

May: Purple Redux

The Young Victoria / Harriet Walter as Queen Adelaide

There are so many wonderful gowns in the "king's birthday" sequence! I've already featured Victoria's yellow dress and the Duchess of Kent's green one in previous entries. Fittingly, the queen's purple gown is the fanciest of them all, with the long train and lavish golden embroidery covering the underskirt.

The lower part of the sleeve, beneath the giant puff, appears to be lace, possibly in pink or pale lavender, over a white base. (See detail below.)

[rabbitdevoted]

photos have been sent . now time to eat a donut think abt offing myself and start on carolines graduation dress

#i decided on a style but i got accent fabric which implies theres a split in her dress but by 1830 that was OUT OF STYLE #bottoms were very smooth and the tops and sleeves were elaborate but i might fudge some details to give hrr a pretty dress cause its nice

[rugessnome]

when i was watching Ash L G and they made a comment about "dressing femme" in some historical/fantasy costume contexts it kinda threw me for a loop, because i hadn't connected the word "femme" to historical clothing before, I think?

like on further thought I suppose that's probably a more inclusive word to use than the period binary that I absorbed at a young age, but in my head I just do not think of styles earlier than somewhere around the 1940s, give or take about a decade, as a connotation of "femme"...

#...tbh I gotta think the 1940s might have emerged in my head here because of it becoming de facto widely socially acceptable #for all the women working in wartime industry to wear pants[AmEng]/overalls etc #and then I'd say offhand both efforts to make that vaguely feminine + the 50s New Look backlash against it #resulted in more of a ... performative femininity (at least in my perception) that does half appeal to me in a drag-ish way #maybe I don't really completely get femme-the-concept though! #I don't consider myself femme generally #...I think most stuff before then is weirdly pretty desaturated genderwise in my head #obviously eg 1830s [Euro/NAm] styles differ drastically between the two recognized ...genders #but the prospect of me wearing any/all (not all at the same time lol) of it doesn't really feel internally meaningful wrt gender...? #(with the exception of Gibson Girls but that feels drag-ish in yet another way)

[throwing-roses-into-the-abyss]

current mood: upset that in order to enjoy my own creations, I have to first create them.

#why can't this nice 1830s style mens overcoat in the really nice fabric I have just spawn into existence magically #what do you MEAN I have to figure out patterns and cut everything and then sew everything tgoether #and like. finish everything and do SO MUCH WORK that's gonna take SO LONG #when I want to wear it NOW #>:( #>:(((((((((((

Brooch

Edgar Bense for Boucheron

c.1890

Conceived as a dazzling dragonfly with delicate plique-à-jour wings, this brooch epitomizes the Art Nouveau style in both fashion and manufacture. With its translucent wings set en tremblant and its sparking rose-cut diamonds, the present jewel catches the light brilliantly. In the enameling technique called plique-à-jour, vitreous enamel is applied to openwork wire cells without a backing, creating the transparent effect of stained glass. The house of Boucheron was founded in 1858 by Frédéric Boucheron (1830–1902). First opened in the Galerie de Valois, under the arcades of the Palais Royal, the shop was perfectly situated in the center of Second Empire Parisian luxury. In 1893 Boucheron moved to the Place Vendôme—the first of the great French houses to occupy that location—where it remains headquartered to this day, with more than 30 branches across the globe.

Ranking Every 2023 Historical Drama on Costume Accuracy by Bernadette Banner :)

BB: Next up we have Season 2 Episode 3 of Good Omens which involves a flashback to Edinburgh, November the 10th 1827. So I was extremely impressed with this. The silhouettes are great, they've got those fantastic quintessential 1820s puffed shoulders on Crowley

this was a very high fashioned thing and a very sort of new fashion thing, it makes absolute sense that Crowley would be going for this really new sort of ostentatious fashion in men's wear and Aziraphale is sticking with the more classic great coat that's been around for a couple of decades by this point. They have absolutely committed to the men's hair of this period, the late 20s going into the 30s for men and women is just spectacular, it's a great period for hair, but they've got the fluff, they've got the sculpture, especially once again on Crowley who is just rolling with these outlandish fashion styles. Crowley I imagine would just slay the 1830s, I mean, we can already see he is going to. They've got the mutton chops. Love it! They've got the little M notch lapels which was a big thing during this period.

We've got fall front britches happening on Aziraphale we can see, which again is the period correct way to be closing of trousers at this point.

I love that they gave Crowley some slightly more period glasses for this period.

I do question where their corsets are, or at least for Crowley. Men's corsetry was a huge thing at this period - the ideal silhouette was for this nice like open rounded broad chest sliding into this tiny little waist for the men and high fashion men especially men that sort of subscribe to this very ostentatious high fashion for men - which Crowley is appearing to do in the show - would have been wearing a corset. I would have loved to see Crowley embracing that corseted look ,I absolutely believe he would have.

I had to google what M notch lapels are, it means that the lapels create an M :):
