Custom Dress worn by Elaine Roebuck to her Bat Mitzvah

Christian Dior

Spring 1957

“It all started when I was twelve years old and I wanted a bat mitzvah. My father said absolutely not — girls didn’t have bat mitzvahs in those days,” Roebuck tells me. “My mother rallied for me and finally my father said OK. The next thing I knew, we were on the train to Montreal to look at my dress.”

The dress in question is a silk organdy masterpiece custom designed by Monsieur Christian Dior himself. Dior did not design for children back in ‘57, but he made an exception. “Not just anyone could go in and say ‘whip me up a dress for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah’ – that wasn’t their business,” says Dr. Alexandra Palmer, the museum’s senior fashion curator. But that’s just what Elaine’s mother, the late Molly Roebuck, did. “She had a motto: If you’re going to do something, you better do it right,” says her daughter. “And in her mind, Dior was just right.” Likely, the exception was made on account of Dior’s relationship with Holt Renfrew, the prestigious high-end retailer with exclusive rights to his collection in Canada back when it launched.

So, with the help of her friend, buyer Betty Macpherson, Roebuck commissioned the dress in Paris. It was to be modest, but fantastical enough for such a special night. After a few months of trading sketches with Dior himself, the muslin models arrived in Montreal, where Dior’s pieces were made-to-measure for the Canadian market. “The dress was dreamlike and it made me think, or maybe even feel, like a princess,” says Roebuck. The end result was a full-skirted silk organdy cocktail dress with daffodil embroidery. As it was a one off, the fabric never appeared in Dior’s collections. “I knew the dress was special, but at the same time, I didn’t think I was different from any of my friends,” she says.

Modern high fashion bridal kimono attires by Couture garden Yui (Takami Bridal collab).

Sheer uchikake coats (known among other names as organdi uchikake) were all the rage a few years ago, especially coming in cute pastel tones. It’s pretty fun to see them make a big come back, in neutral colors this time.

Our Reiwa era is definitely all about soft tones and lace (as discussed in the note about furisode fashion evolutions) so I should not be surprised ;)

Yet tbh, my heart still goes to stronger colors, I mean just look at this perfect beauty:

Lonely to Organdy

Essa é uma mini capinha que eu fiz do meu mangá favorito.

Eu não usei ela de wallpaper, na verdade eu imprimi ela e a uso como uma capa pro meu kindle, já que eu uso uma capinha transparente, a foto fica de fundo.

She was so orderly, so well balanced, one stitch of her hand-sewed organdy collar was so clearly identical with every other, her very seams, if you can understand it, ran so exactly where they should, that she set me to pulling myself straight.

This is the description of Miss Emily, a spinster, sole survivor of her family, who has insisted on renting her home out for the summer for far less than it is worth to the narrator. Miss Emily’s crisp, fine cotton collar on her dark dress was a common look for a basic dress in the early 20th century, and often came with matching cuffs. The hand stitching tells you she either has skill or once had money.

As the story progresses, mysterious things happen in the rented house at night. Does this house hold a secret about Miss Emily? This is from Mary Roberts Rinehart story titled The Confession. It was first published in 1917 as a serial in a magazine, and then republished with another story in 1921 in novel form. 

Rinehart uses fashion to signal who people are so far as age, taste, and class. Although in this case Miss Emily seems to be not quite as orderly as she appears.

New take on the furufuru kingyo (frilly goldfishes) modern obi by Mimizukuya (see old version here). The organdi covering embroidered fishes, sequins and beads caught is a bit sheerer, enhancing the see through muso effect ;)
