When Christian Dior died in the fall of 1957, he left some designs unshown. This short white lace evening dress and matching coat was among those on display at the National Press Week showings in New York, January 3, 1958. They were fashions for spring, 1958. Dior called this collection, designed for the American market, the “New Era.”

I watch a fun IG reel of a maid getting dressed in 1790 vs. 1890. it's great! both maids are in practical, period-typical outfits with a few simple aesthetic touches because Humans Like Looking Good regardless of social class. you can tell they are maids because they put clearly functional aprons on, and the 1890s one is wearing a uniform-style cap. also the caption says they are. love it
I scroll down
the top comment: "but what did POOR women wear? you only ever show rich people's clothes!"
