The backless dress became one of the signature style of the #1930s, redirecting the gaze. Gowns of the period are often more decorative at the back than they are at the front, a case in point this c1933 dress by Augusta Bernard @philamuseum.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I want to know why no one has created an immersive National Treasure like escape room near me that relies less on the usual puzzles and more on my knowledge of the American Revolution.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books in a Scottish Highlands cottage during a pouring rain whilst enjoying a plate of emotional support cinnamon rolls?

A pale pink evening gown in silk chiffon in many layers embroidered with a swirl of motifs in the same shade of pink

This is an especially lovely Vionnet gown, ethereally floaty, of pale pink asymmetry. It dates to the late #1920s, on the cusp of change but still recognisably of its era @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Joining the call for a movie adaptation immediately but also, OF COURSE it was the Corgi leading the escape! 🤣

They are such escape artists. My childhood Corgi mix would escape to hang out with bikers.

Came out of the post office, saw that a guy had cut my saddle bag off my bike and was about to take off with it. I yelled "Please wait my cat's medicine is in there!" He started to run, and this grandma-age lady goes "SHE SAID HER CAT'S MEDICINE IS IN THERE" and WALLOPED him with her grocery bag.

Just a friendly reminder that your desire to spend the weekend reading Agatha Christie and eating emotional support scones by a crackling fire in a Scottish Highlands cottage is valid.

Don’t allow anyone to disrespect you by telling you otherwise.

Turns out I did fracture my 7th and 8th rib last week when I tripped over my tv stand box and fell on the corner of my bookshelf box that I’d just gotten in. Whoops

a tiny light brown dachshund is being held up by a human who is out of frame. they are at a beautiful snowy mountain range that looks straight out of a Pinterest photo. the dachshund pup, Frankie, is wearing a full body puffer jacket that matches her light brown fur perfectly.

This is Frankie. She just got a fancy new puffer and thinks she’s better than everyone now. And she is correct. 13/10 (IG: frankielasaucisse)

The slick, wet look sequins used in the creation of this mid #1920s evening dress are made from cellophane. For over 30 years, sisters Anna & Laura Tirocchi brought European style over America in their Providence RI shop. This is one of their choices #RISDMuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Tripped over a box and fell hard on my side right into the corner of the box. Already hurting so work tomorrow is not going to be fun.

Regret to announce that we’ve reached Wrong Coat season. Every coat you wear from now til mid April will be The Wrong Coat for the weather

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but nobody has the right to tell you that a bookshelf with a rolling ladder “won’t fix you.”

This week's #TwentiesTuesday garment is this c. 1924 purple silk day dress, adorned with embroidery on the pockets, cuffs and collar. This type of casual dress was inspired by the innovative leisurewear being created by Lanvin and Chanel. National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne. #fashionhistory
