Afternoon dress, American, 1870–75
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Designed by the New York dressmaker, Grace King, this is a well-crafted and designed garment that compares favorably to the French pieces of that era. The color combination is extremely attractive and the buttons are noteworthy for their visual appeal. Also of interest, are the petite measurements: bust 29", waist 21.5", and back shoulder width 10".

The danger is over and everyone is safe, you're allowed to grieve the part of your life you lost. They're just "things" but they're things you had because you loved them, made with your own hands because you felt it was worth it to create and bring you joy in its existence. Every piece you lost is a part of a life you put together for yourself. It's a testament to your existence as the unique individual you are. You don't have to apologize for mourning them
Thank you.
I just. I can begin again, and I will. I'm even a relatively quick seamstress, when properly motivated. It feels like such a herculean task, though, especially for things that can't be gotten easily or cheaply again- colorful silks the discount fabric store no longer carries, my stash of antique and specialty reproduction trims, certain buttons or accessories...
I feel like I'm staring up a mountain I have to somehow climb all over again, after reaching a peak and then falling back to the bottom

And More From The Atelier…
Corsets I can understand…but intentionally shelfing your rear view is well, insane. And yet…we wear them and think they’re awesome. Check out that side view! In 1885, that was tres chic. Become a Patron!

I'm getting into traditional menswear (in an unmistakably queer and transgender way) and now every time I see a weird suit jacket I want it. I keep scrolling past Benny from FNV (a game I never played) and I want that jacket. I could make it out of flannel cotton and it would go with my pyjama pants that I want to alter.
