The #WorkingClass #Uprising They Don't Teach You About
In the #1760s, powerful men in the #American #colonies were in danger. The working class people beneath them were sick of the #corruption and #bullying, and were ready to rebel. #HermanHusband

The sleeve detail of a 1760s primrose yellow brocade gown focusing on the scallop edged pinked cuffs in double layers with pleats on the sleeve and the seams at the back of the bodice and waistband
I do love a pinked edge and a complex sleeve. This is a favourite, the detail of a #1760s lightly sprinkled floral brocade gown, pleated and ruffled in primrose yellow @chertseymuseum.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Detailed view of a cream stomacher with hand stitched floral embroidery covering its surface and the outline of the pink open robed mantua surrounding it
This #1760s stomacher is a riot of floral abundance, spilling out from the confines of its triangular shape to the pink mantua that surrounds it, a masterclass in hand stitching #thekyotocostumeinstitute #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Back view of a grand robe made from silk brocade with a large floral repeat. The Watteau pleat falls from the neckline to the floor
The same dress but lying on a table being carefully vacuumed by a textile conservator
Enjoying dress and textiles on display is one thing, but recognising how much work it takes to preserve and store them is another. A great example here of a #1760s robe a la francaise with fur motif on show and also lying dormant being vacuumed! #thekyotocostumeinstitute #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A detail photograph of a butter yellow sleeve ruching and fuzzy braid decorating its edges with a cream lace cuff beneath the sleeve
Here is the fragile detail of a sleeve, some #1760s fly braid fuzzing the edges of buttery yellow silk from which emerges the web of a bobbin lace cuff. Both fly braid & lace are textile trades no longer widely practised, but apparent here in this surviving gown #ksumuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Detail of an 18th century robe showing the Watteau pleat and colourful blurry floral repeat against white striped turquoise
The striped turquoise of this #1760s robe a la francaise dress is disrupted by blurry blooms created by a technique called chiné a la branche, whereby warp threads are grouped together prior to weaving. It is beautifully indistinct against the sharp lines of white, V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Cuff detail of green and cream striped silk dress showing small red roses stitched in fly braid around the edge of the sleeve
Bodice detail of the green and cream striped dress with the small red roses decorating the stomacher and cuffs
Tiny little red roses were created to decorate the green and cream stripes of this #1760s gown. Part of the fly fringe style of embellishments, they are delicately frayed stems and blossoms that seem to float on the surface of the silk, V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
