An exciting new addition to the historical fashion collection, an early 1820s printed cotton day dress. It is a great example of the transitional dressmaking of the early 19th century combining 18th-century techniques with new styles and technology.

Gorgeous piece- that print is fabulous ! It is amazing to me the use of pins in historical dress….something so foreign to us today. Do you ever see localized textile damage from all that daily pinning?

@costumeandconservation 2 года назад

Yes! You can see it in this piece. It is normally clusters of pin holes. On this specific piece it is rather subtle, which is interesting- maybe it wasn’t worn a lot for some reason?

An interesting look at early dresses and their construction. Thank you.

Some dresses that I left hanging in a closet for a few years faded much the same way your dress did. Those dresses were not left hanging in the sunlight,. so I suspected that chemicals in the plaster and paint that was inside the closet may have 'outgassed' , or whatever you would call that process, destroying the color.

omg you won this one?! so happy it went to you so I can live vicariously through you hehe

I thought it was going to go for more… I told my friends that I “accidentally won”. No regrets though.

@@costumeandconservation I forgot to set an alarm to bid and I was so sad it went for so little and I missed out on it - but also now I'm no longer sad because it went to you!

@marika147 2 года назад

Would it be more correct to call this gown a garment, not a costume? Given it was a real person's everyday item of clothing - rather than costume - which would imply they would put it on to look like someone else/ different fashion period. 🤔

The term “costume” is used as a catch-all term for dress/garment in the field. We tend to use “fancy dress” when taking about Halloween/ theatrical costumes. It’s a bit confusing. The terminology originated in the UK were a lot of the early dress history scholarship took place.
