It was in the reign of Alexander II that the aforesaid personages lived and quarrelled; good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor, they are all equal now.

Апрель - месяц моего рождения. Долгих лет жизни МакИвер! Мне 19! В день моего рождения давался ужин в @cookerylostclub . Украшение и сервировка стола были выдержаны в стиле эпохи Александра II, как было хорошо сказано о ней- эпоха реформ и свобод. Мой образ вдохновлён, пожалуй самым любимым фильмом- «Леопард» от Лукино Висконти 1963 года. А источником вдохновения стал любимый князь дон Фабрицио Корбера ди Салина. Получился ансамбль выглядивший просто и эстетично, уменьшая до слова элегантность. И довольно точно соответствующий 60-м XIX века- века стали и пара. Благодарю всех кто был, за чудесное общество 🖤✨ За приготовление и сервировку вечера благодарю Данил Ведерников Из фильма : «Год яркого пламени — и тридцать лет пепла; я знаю, что такое любовь.» «...Такие мерзости рассказывают на исповеди, а не девушкам за обедом...» «...Послушайте, Шевалье. Я очень благодарен правительству за предложение стать сенатором. Если бы речь шла о почётном титуле на визитной карточке, я бы с радостью согласился, но на такое я пойти не могу. Послушайте, я представитель старого класса, безнадёжно испорченного прошлым режимом, и связанный с ним, если не любовью, то происхождением. Моё поколение застряло между миров, и чувствует себя чужим в обоих, и кроме того, у меня нет иллюзий. Зачем сенату такой законодатель, не имеющий опыта законотворчества, и который не может обмануть самого себя? А без этого, за тобой не пойдут другие.» Фото @begemusja _____________________________ #1800sfashion #1800s #1840sfashion #1840 #1850s #1800sdress #1860sdress #1860s #1860sfashion #1850sfashion #ampir #regency #dandy #tailormade #mood #dapper #victoriancoat #1920smenswear #eveningsuit #evening #edwardianera #mensstyle #mensfashion #victorianera #frack #oldmany #fashion #historicalplace #oldfashion #victorianstyle

Recently sold this 1840s bodice likely made of Chinese export silk would have originally formed part of an evening dress, as is often the case the large quantity of decorative silk in the skirt has been unpicked and likely reused at some point in time. I can only imagine how the golden dragons set against a bold red satin must have turned heads at a dinner or ball during the mid 19th century. #19thcenturyfashion #19thcenturydress #1800sdress #antiquecostume #antiquetextiles #1840sdress #1850sdress #chinesesilk #antiquechinese #antiquechineseembroidery #chineseembroidery #antiqueembroidery #1840sfashion #victoriandress #victorianfashion #victorianbodice

The bluebells are out! Visited Gaer Fawr woods near Guilsfield. This is the site of an ancient bluebell woodland and an Iron Age hill fort. It’s a bit of a steep climb up but so pretty and peaceful. I’m wearing my 1840s pink day dress, with a quilted petticoat (which I needed as it was 9 degrees up there) Neil from the Welshpool Camera club took the photos. *please note I took extreme care over the bluebells, I know how fragile and important they are. I stood on patches of bramble, the pathway or fallen trees and didn’t trend on the bluebells. #bluebell #bluebellwoods #woodland #1840s #1840sfashion #1840sdress #victorianfashion #victoriandressmaker #victoriansewing #sewing #historicaldress #historicalreenactment

In 2013, @polkhome held an exhibition titled “Sarah Polk, First Lady of Style” featuring gowns, headdresses and jewelry worn by Mrs. Polk. This 1847 brocaded silk ball gown was possibly made for the former first lady by Paris couturière Madame Manoury. 📷 The Daily Herald #PresidentialFashionHistory #PresidentialStyle #PresidentialFashion #JamesKPolk #PresidentPolk #1840sFashion #VictorianFashion

Inconvenience of Wearing Coffee Bag Skirts, 1848. Exploring the visual history of the global coffee industry can sometimes take you in surprising directions. I recently stumbled across this image, titled “Inconvenience of Wearing Coffee Bag Skirts,” by the lithographer James S. Baillie. It depicts an older man leering at a young woman descending from a carriage in New York City. Her silk skirt was caught on the door handle, revealing what was underneath — including an under-skirt made out of a coffee bag. Beyond this particular image, I have not been able to find any other reference to coffee bag skirts, and I would welcome comments from anyone who knows about the history of dress and fashion in the early nineteenth-century US. My best guess is that the heavy fabric of the coffee sack offered some structure and perhaps warmth to the overall outfit. There are further layers of skirts beneath the bag, to protect the wearer from the rough fabric. For the coffee nerds among us, the text on the exposed sack says “Old Java Burnt and Ground … Shillings Per Pound.” Some text is clearly missing. But if nothing else, we know that this sack was well travelled, having made its way from Java to the United States. And once it was emptied of its coffee, it then began a second life as an undergarment. The empty bags were likely being sold off at the NYC coffee exchange, to the nearby garment factories. This little episode invites us to think about the complex, subtle, and sometimes surprising impacts of the emerging mass production and consumption of coffee in the nineteenth century. We need to remember to look beyond the coffee itself. #coffeebean #coffeecommunity #coffeegeek #coffeegram #coffeehistories #coffeehistory #fashionhistory #fashionillustration #historicalfashion #histoireducafe #historiadocafe #1840sfashion

This #fashionplatefriday I have a plate from an issue of Le Charivari c1840 featuring a gorgeous blue-black velvet evening dress. I initially thought it was a shot silk taffeta, but the caption says that it's a velvet. The accompanying caption reads "Robe de velours garnie d'un volant d'Angleterre, bordé et releve par des ornemens de perles. Robe d'organdi brodé (façons de Mademoiselle Camille). — Coiffure de velours et bonnet de tulle (Lemonnier)." #fashionplate #1840sfashion #1840s #victorianfashionplate #victorianfashion #historicalfashion

My very first attempt at mid-19th century shoemaking! A pair of wool gaiter boots made with instructions from “Every Lady Her Own Shoemaker” (1856). They are quite wonky but I hope to improve with time, any suggestions for what to do better would be appreciated as well.

🍂 “The female silhouette of the middle of the 19th century consisted of a fitted corseted bodice and wide full skirts. The conical skirts developed between the 1830s, when the high waist of the Empire silhouette was lowered and the skirts became more bell shaped, to the late 1860s, when the fullness of the skirts were pulled to the back and the bustle developed. The flared skirts of the period gradually increased in size throughout and were supported by a number of methods. Originally support came from multiple layers of petticoats which, due to weight and discomfort, were supplanted by underskirts comprised of graduated hoops made from materials such as baleen, cane and metal. The fashions during this time allowed the textiles to stand out because of the vast surface areas of the skirt and a relatively minimal amount of excess trim.” https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/159208 Evening ensemble, 1845-1850, maker unknown, the Met Silk . . . . . . . . . #victorianera #victorianstyle #1840s #1840sfashion #historicalfashion #victoriandress #19thcentury #19thcenturyfashion

This incredibly beautiful ball gown from around 1850 is one of many objects you can admire in the new exhibition Nordic Life at the National Museum in Stockholm. I visited it last month and can really recommend it. I only had time to quickly go through it, but I’ll be back soon to enjoy it more thoroughly. #1840s #1840sfashion #1850 #1850s #1850sfashion #victorianfashion #victorianera #victorianstyle #victoriandress #1800sfashion #stockholm #visitstockholm #museum #nordiskamuseet #fashionhistory #historicalfiction #history

Edmund and Vyecheslav posting Edmund is pretty eccentric and doesn’t get along so well with a lot of people, mainly being focused on his profession rather than being personable, but when he met Vyecheslav they kind of clicked, and they eventually started courting 🧁 🧁 🧁 #historicaloc #oc #myoc #myoriginalcharacter #originalcharacter #lgbtoc #1840s #1840sfashion #traditionalart #historicalcouple #occouple #myocs #gayoc #historicalcharacter #doctoroc #myart #traditionalart #romanticera #chibi #chibiart #artistsofinstagram #artistsofig #tagforartists #femaleartist #youngartist #antiquefashion #originalart #originalartwork #ocart #originalcharacterart #heightdifference

Johann Christian Schoeller painting of 1842 eclipse in Vienna, Austria. Plus images from our own viewing party, here in Atlanta. Slide 3 shows what we saw through Mr. BDV's telescope. Slide 4 shows how shadows look strange. In slide 5, Millie flouts safety recommendations. To keep the content vintage-clothing relevant, I'll note that the skirts in the painting are filled out with multiple petticoats (perhaps some corded), as the "cage of freedom" (hoop) had not been invented yet. #solareclipse #eclipse2024 #hoopskirt #1840sfashion #milliejackson #ljmd3pets #eclipseviewing #fashionhistory

Living near the path of the eclipse, I took my sewing project outside to work during the wait. I caught a few glimpses of the partials before full cloud cover and a thunderstorm rolled through. I did manage to experience the darkness and the birds quieting down from the safety of the workshop door. Made some good progress on adding lace to my 1840s linen day cap. #sewingproject #historicalsewing #handsewing #sewersgonnasew #fashionhistory #1840sfashion

For Sale… 1840s silhouette of two brothers.These three quarter length portraits are painted directly on to card and are NOT the cut out and pasted to board type. These young 8 to 10 year old boys have typical late 1840’s hairstyles that are swept forward from the crown. The hair first finely painted then a layer of Gum Arabic, then delicate gilt bronze highlights applied. One brother wears a typical 1840’s Eton Suit with the medium sized white collar of his undershirt poking out. These are is beautiful depictions that are offered in their superb all original maple/satinwood frames. Complete with gilt slip and original old glass. #antiques #antiqueart #1840s #1840sfashion #etonsuit #silhouette #antiquesilhouette

In today’s time, most of us would not want to hide her underneath another dress as she’s gorgeous. . . . . . #historicalfashion #historicalcostuming #19thcenturyfashion #victorianfashion #victorianundergarments #victorianpetticoat #petticoatdress #antiquefashion #fashionhistory #1840sfashion #1850sfashion

1/4 plate daguerreotype taken in April, 1847-check out that smile on old mate to the left while you're eyeing the badassery of both blokes' whiskers. This image is courtesy of the collection of Will Dunniway, and documents two officers of the 5th Infantry, taken in Vera Cruz, Mexico.

The pale plain-ness of this c1840 gown creates a ghostly silhouette, almost as if all of its former colour has been used up by life, and all that remains is its outline.

[slightly suggestive second slide?] Some of my other 1840s oc’s! The man with the freckles is Vyecheslav, who is Yekaterina’s father, and the other man is Edmund, who is a doctor. Vyecheslav and Edmund met since Vyecheslav was in the military, and after his service he had a few injuries that that were kind of permanent, so that’s when he met Edmund. They kept seeing each other for business reasons, but they eventually found themselves growing closer to each other and fell in love. Last slide is a silly drawing I did since Yekaterina isn’t too fond of Edmund lol 🎩 🎩 🎩 #1840s #1840sart #romanticoc #oc #myoc #myocs #maleoc #historicaloc #historicalocs #historicalcharacter #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #1840sfashion #historicalfashion #mensfashion #lgbtoc #gayoc #bioc #art #myart #originalart #originalartwork #traditionalart #doctoroc #romanticera #artistsofinstagram #artistsofig #youngartist #lgbtart #tradtionalartist

please experience the eighteen forties wave of English sunshine that was Mrs Emma Dillwyn Llewelyn (born Emma Thomasina Talbot, cousin of British pioneering photographer William Henry Fox Talbot), born September 23, 1806 to Thomas Mansel Talbot and Lady Mary Fox Strangeways (some sources mentioned 'Cole'). Emma wed Welshman John Dillwyn Llewelyn in 1833; the marriage produced, I believe, 5 children. The couple set up their life on the estate at Penllergare near Swansea in Wales. John Dillwyn Llewelyn took this daguerreotype of Emma around the early-to-mid 1840s; a sensible estimate for Emma's age at the time of this portrait would be around her late 30s. John was an amateur photographer from the 1840s, working with calotypes and daguerreotypes in his early days. A future post on John's work, remarkably proficient and superbly composed for an 'amateur' (however, as we have seen in the recent post of Mr Biewend's Germany daguerreotypes, amateurs were often arguably as skilled and artistically minded as their professional counterparts...) will shine a light on his admirable talents in the photographic field. But Emma: she found the light, and it reflected a countenance both poised and gentle, and filled with radiance and authenticity. She was having none of the staid and formal recipe some sitters were in favour of (plenty did break the mould, too, of course). Emma is proof that smiling WAS a reality for early portraiture. She wears it to perfection. #1840s #1840sfashion #british #johndillwynllewelyn #daguerreotype #wales #historical #smiling #rayofsunshine #woman #victorian #victorianwoman #19thcentury #mirror #hair #1800s #history #victorianera

The problem with making things for hands or feet is that in general, you need to make two... I finished the first 1830's-60's boot last week, and now the second is giving me nasty looks. Anyway, here's the first one. I've attached a wool (ok, probably a wool mix) upper to a square toed ballerina slipper I bought a few years ago when they were everywhere. If you can't afford the fancy reproduction footwear, you have to make it yourself. The black lace needs to be replaced, but is what I had available. Meanwhile, lacing boots on the inside of the foot is extremely convenient. #HistoricalShoes #HistoricalFootwear #HistoricalFashion #1840sFashion #1840s #VictorianFashion #Costuming #CostumingOnABudget #HistoricalCostuming

NOT A POST MORTEM! Just a conked out kiddo who's toddler'd too hard. This portrait is constantly having assumptions thrown at it from know-it-alls who in fact have done diddly squat in the way of careful research. Many, many sleeping babies had their photos taken, and I can imagine it'd be rather an easier undertaking for all involved for infants to be asleep. Meet the Adams family, who sat for their daguerreotype in 1846. Pa is Henry Joseph Adams, Ma is Abigail Ridley Gibson Adams and slumbering babe is Anna Gibson Adams Kinsbury, born in 1845 in Walnut Hills, Ohio, and lived to her late 30s, passing away in 1884. She married NY Lt John Terry Kingsbury in 1871 and had 3 children with him. Anna died in 1884 and is buried in Pioneer Cemetery, Washington State. This daguerreotype is ID'd, and preserved by the Library of Congress. #daguerreotype #adamsfamily #adamsdaguerreotype #1840s #family #historical #1800s #1840sfashion #child #familyphoto #history #19thcentury #american #americanhistory

"I am no bird, and no net ensnares me..." Which is your favorite? A medieval old town on a foggy evening seemed like the perfect backdrop for this romantic era 1837-42 dress. The silver grey silk and the shape of the dress just screams gothic novel heroine to me.

Marína Nemožno mi Ťa neľúbiť V blízkosti tvojej, moja Marína, sto citov z duše mi kypí, k tebe sa život celý pohýna, jak roj včiel k sladkostiam lipy: Ústa mi primrú k rubínom tvojim, myslím si večne, že nerozdvojím prah duše od duše prahu... #marina #poem #theatre #lovestory #love #1840s #1840sfashion #old #history #slovakhistory #slovakliterature

Todays wardrobe pays homage to the late 1830s and early 1840s. I realized that even though I wear this vintage waistcoat often, I rarely post outfits featuring it, so I decided to put something together to show it off. Even with the paletot buttoned up, you can still see a splash of bright red for a nice contrast. #1830sfashion #1830s #1840sfashion #1840 #vintagestyle #vintagemenswear #vintagefashion #oldsoul #19thcenturyfashion #19thcentury #vampire #victoriangoth #victorianmenswear #victorianstyle #victorianfashion #vintagewinter #vintageeveryday #sundaybest #gentlemanstyle #gentleman #vintagegentleman
