Poetry in Motion from 1930 at Augusta Auctions

Houndstooth is a little out of its wheelhouse on an evening gown, as it is a woven pattern best known in woolen tweeds for tailored suits and coats. Yet it makes for harmony as it becomes panels of glimmering pinwheels in this brocaded silk chiffon number. As the image indicates, it offers two kinds of flaring at the hemline, first circular  flounces on the dress itself and then tiered circular hem flounces on the silk crepe underdress.

The ornate ornamentation on flat panels of the tubular silhouette was popular in 1920s, but these flounces shatter the tube and create poetry in motion. Imagine a woman wearing this as she spun across the dance floor, the metallic threads catching the light as they lifted and fell with her steps. These flounces with their rounded hemlines are the sophisticated version of our “handkerchief” hems which are usually only squares tilted to the bias which creates sharp corner. This makes them easier to make, but not as pretty when they move.

if you've noticed i'm a little short on information on objects from this particular museum it's because they barely write anything. I really love the collection at anno glomdalsmuseet, but the information available on objects online leaves much to be desired.

New Delhi | Textile exhibition Vayan - The Art of Indian Brocades delves into the history of the decorative weave

The 17th century English explorer Edward Terry wrote of his visit to India: “The natives there show very much ingenuity in their curious manufactures, as in their silk stuffs, which they most artificially weave, some very neatly mingled either with silver or gold or both…” It is these glowing, glistening, lustrous “silk stuffs” that are the subject of a dazzling exhibition at the National Crafts…

Blue gowns in this period (1765-1770) are rare, but this one just blows my mind because of the pattern matching situation going on.

Do you ever wonder why you don't see lots of dresses in the same patterns? That's because bolts of cloth were often made to order, or in such small batches that there would only be enough for one or two dresses--especially when there was this much fabric involved. Matching patterns with this much precision took incredible skill, and not a lot of room for mistakes.

According to the museum, this dress in in three parts: the petticoat, stomacher, and open robe. And they are "largely unaltered"--which is another rarity. Materials of this quality were often so sought after that the were re-cut and sewn decades, and sometimes, centuries after. Or, refitted to new wearers.

Urag: Arch mage Deneth did try dressing him in traditional dunmer garb when he was younger but he was so clumsy he kept tripping over the fabric.

Wyrm: *from behind the door* i-i was not! It was too big on me!!!

Nerevar: *looks at urag* was it?

Urag: *shakes his head chuckling* we hemmed it up to his mid shins to be safe and he still tripped over it.

Voryn: all done! *opens the door and ushers Wyrm out*

Wyrm: *dressed in a flowy pretty hanfu in the colours of house sotha, visibly pouting* I hate it.

Nerevar: Hate it?! You look great!

Wyrm: *fidgets his arm aggressively before nearly ripping the sleeve to get his hand free* it’s too bulky and flappy and itchy and I hate it!!

Voryn: okay okay we’ll try the more fitted one now. *pats his hair and turns him around gently ushering him back into his room*

Wyrm: *takes one step and instantly face plants into the floor* …Just let me be naked.
