At some point in practically every course I teach, I have to stop and explain that gender is what scholars say when they mean the arbitrary rules that we apply to men and women. To illustrate, I take one of my shoulder bags, and and then my husband's man bag and point out that neither my female shoulders nor my husband's shoulders bar us from using each other's bags, and yet he would not be seen dead carrying my purse, and I think his man bag is pretty boring.
This exhibition in Mumford, New York, runs through 2024 and offers you examples of what 19th Century Americans wore, based on their sex, and how they argued about what a man or a woman could or should wear. As in, who should get to wear the pants?
Click through for more info, including several corset patterns which you can download which have been drawn up from the historical garments in the museum's collection.

Day dress hand-made from block-printed cotton and lined with cotton. Cut and constructed for nursing. 1830 The dress has a shallow wide neckline and long sleeves which are full at the sleevehead and tapers towards the wrist. The sleeve ends are finished with self-cuffs which are cut to wrap over and form a diagonal line, which is trimmed along the outside edge with six tiny gilt-metal, non-functional buttons. The cuffs fasten with hooks and eyes. The front panels of the bodice are decorated over the breasts with a pair of horizontal self-pleats which meet in a V-shape at the centre front. The dress has a slightly raised waist and a full bell-shaped skirt which is gathered into the waist. The hem of the skirt is trimmed with a deep self-flounce. The bodice has a loose panel which could be unfastened at the waist and lifted for nursing. The design of the print sets boldly drawn flower stems, which include marigolds, heather and valerian rendered in pink, yellow, green and indigo, on a vivid madder ground. The fabric was probably printed with indigo and madder by a resist process and overprinted with yellow to form orange and green. #history #museumcollection #antiquetextile #instamuseum #museumoninstagram #antiquecotton #historicaldress #costumehistory #fashion #historicalfashion #historicalclothing #dresshistory #fashionhistory #historicalcostume #fashionhistorian #19thcentury #19thcenturyfashion  #fashionexhibition #fashioncuration #fashionmuseum #dressmuseum #costumemuseum #historyofcostume #historyoffashion #historyofdress Source: V & A https://www.instagram.com/p/CdeE1QlAmOQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

July is National Picnic Month, a fact which Marriot Morris clearly knew. This image was taken by Morris on July 7, 1888 at 2:30 pm.
Special shoutout to whoever balanced the egg on the wine bottle!
Morris, Marriott. Party at dinner in woods at Highlands, [NJ]. July 7, 1888.

Designing Women: Fashion Creators and Their Interiors at Museum at FIT
Now through May 14, 2023, the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology has a show on women fashion designers who also did interior decoration from the late 19th Century onward. As both kinds of designing were part of the decorative arts, this made perfect sense to them. The same principles about the art of composition were used to design both. In fact, one of my early fashion books actually explains how to make each room of a house as harmonious as a woman’s clothing.
You see here a yellow, fur-trimmed tea gown from around 1918 which is attributed to Lucile, then a remarkably fluffy evening cape by Jeanne Paquin, evening cape, 1987, France, and lastly a painting by Henri Gervex which he called “Cinq Heures chez Paquin” or Five Hours at Paquin from 1906 which gives you the idea that women spent a lot of time picking out their purchases at the designer’s salon.

Silk Tea gown, 1898–1901 A woman wore a teagown to receive guests in her own home in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These garments were far less formal and structured that typical day or evening wear, and as a result, sometimes show more creative or unusual inspirations, such as historic or non-Western forms of dress. This example is a beautifully made and decorated teagown, which shows the influence of both Japanese embroidered kimonos and 18th century robes à la française. Interior padding intended to provide warmth and the deliberate choice of a magenta lining which picks up the purple details in the lily motifs are both signs of superior design and workmanship. Furthermore, the asymmetry of the embroidery is in keeping with the Art Nouveau aesthetic. While the maker is no longer known, the smocking of the bodice clearly relates to the distinctive Liberty & Company fashions in vogue during this period, and the store might easily have been the source for this unparalleled example.

I need to create one . . . Reposted from @katestrasdin For the @vamuseum exhibition Bags Inside Out, this dress is merely a canvas for the mid-19th century chatelaine with its many attachments to the waistband. The garment is a reproduction, a suggestion of a dress on which the beautifully crafted metalwork is suspended #handbags #chatelaine #19thcenturydesign #19thcenturystyle #19thcenturyfashion #metalwork #mid19thcentury #fashionexhibition #calicodress #fashionresearch #museumexhibition #bagsinsideout #dresshistory #fashionhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CL2vMwchW6s/?igshid=1g3couumpniyt

It's "Sleeves" for #VictorianFebruary today and as a designer, they're a tricky thing to balance. I got to have my "Anne of Green Gables" moment in Sweden at an event wearing...puffed sleeves. I'm a believer! . . . #puffedsleeves #1890s #belleepoque #labelleepoque #museumlace #lilyabsinthe #19thcenturyfashion #historicalcostuming #victorian #victorianoldwest #victorianstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CLDZx-JDeQq/?igshid=4s0ak4a73ky1
