#1880s fashions

'As to my weight, Tish, my mother was always considered merely a fine figure of a woman, and I am just her size. It is only since this rage for skinny women---' But Tish was not listening....

Figures as well as garment have had their fashions and here the woman defending her size is supposed to be in her fifties and this is the 1910s. So if you ponder that she would have been born in the 1860s, and was perhaps talking about her mother’s figure in the 1870s or 1880s. This was when large hour-glass was considered a fine figure, although women were soon to take to the golf courts, than to bikes, and finally to tennis which meant by the 1910s a slimmer and more athletic silhouette was the fashion. By the 1910s, the skin-right bodice had given way to a very loose look, the waist was marked, by the skirt were soft and pleated.

This is from “Tish Does Her Bit” a short comic story, one of many Mary Roberts Rinehart wrote about written about her character Letitia--or Tish--Carberry. She is one of three spinsters and in this story her desire to do some good during World War I, preferably driving her own ambulance. This was  published as part of collection in More Tish in 1921.

If no one attempts to recreate this actual Gilded Age look from the 1883 Vanderbilt Ball for the MET Gala, then what’s even the point?

Fooduary Day 6: Ice Cream Sundae

I might have gone slightly overboard with the amount of sprinkles… however she’s also adorable... so. Ice cream sundaes have a whole bunch of disputed origin stories which leaves us with a window of 1881’s claim of first invention in Wisconsin to 1892’s published advert in New York. I decided to go with 1881 because I enjoyed how the natural form era looked like an ice cream glass and the day gowns often had layers of ruffles and bows for me to work with.

You know me and yellow dresses. We have a thing.

This dress from the House of Worth has a whole lot going on. First, the sleeves are detachable so you can transform it as needed. This concept was quite popular at the time (this gown dates from 1888). It has lots of influence from the 18th century--especially with that pattern and the bodice--but employs more advanced tailoring and embellishments popular during its time.

Personally, I love the different yellows and browns and golds, all creating a luxurious narrative of silk. Since this is the Met museum, we have very little to go on in terms of specifics, but I think it's the kind of gown that just screams peak House of Worth. And it looks like something you'd see on the runway today. I especially love the train.

Sashiko Jacket

1850-1899 (Meiji Era)

Japan

Sashiko is a quilting technique that uses a running stitch to reinforce and prolong the life of a textile or to join together recycled pieces of cloth into a new garment. Japanese farmers used the technique to create warmer and more durable fabrics, and decorative sashiko stitching developed from this practical function. This robe’s embroidered design is dominated by three variations on the pattern of interlocking circles, called shippō-tsunagi. The bottom band features a design of waves.
