man I wish there were a more nuanced way to talk about dress history’s darker sides without like.
making people feel guilty for thinking the clothes were pretty.
to be clear, I don’t mean this in the Conservative Pundit sense where literally any criticism of white/cis/straight/male privilege and its negative effects on society makes them cry about being Laden With Unfair Guilt(TM). I mean like...I don’t know. this Gotcha attitude I see sometimes that’s like
“think this dress is pretty? well IT CAME FROM A HORRIFIC SYSTEM SO THINK AGAIN, BOZO! BET YOU DON’T LIKE IT SO MUCH NOW HUH???”
obviously we should talk about the horrific systems (many many of them) in the past. if a garment was made from fibers processed by enslaved people, and sewn by teenage seamstresses making a pittance, that needs to be discussed
but I feel as if it would help to contextualize that with like
“who makes the majority of our clothing today? what conditions do they work in? what difficulties prevent us from simply opting out of having our clothes produced this way? who sets trends, and do people outside their social echelon also enjoy those trends?”
so that people get that they should be thinking about the past and how its legacy impacts us today, rather than tearing themselves up for Finding The Early 19th Century Cotton Evening Gown Pretty
there is no unproblematic period to enjoy clothing from, including the one we live in now. and it’s not productive to rip people a new one for Bad Fashion Preferences. to me, it’s the same as claiming that someone supports sweatshop labor because they said a Shein dress was cute once

One Dress a Day Challenge
Anything Goes December
The Muppet Christmas Carol / Gonzo the Great as Charles Dickens
It's been well documented that the costumes in this movie are more detailed and accurate than they have any right to be, including (or especially) on the Muppet characters. Here is Gonzo as Charles Dickens in all his glory. Look at his patterned waistcoat! His beautifully fitted greatcoat and top hat! His striped socks, which don't even show unless the trouser legs are specially pulled up! And just imagine being in the workshop chuckling to yourself while creating this costume, assuming nobody but you and a few costume nerd friends would ever notice the level of craftsmanship, unaware that large portions of this newfangled thing called the internet would be squeeing over them thirty years later. Ann Hollowood and Polly Smith, I salute you.
