"Дама з Амстердама" Профіль жінки у моді бароко XVII століття: капелюх із пером, мереживний комір та висока зачіска створюють образ елегантності й театральності.

 🇬🇧         "Lady from Amsterdam"
Before you lies the likeness of a most noble lady of Amsterdam, rendered by my own hand in the full flower of the Baroque, in the seventeenth century. I encountered her not within the gilded confines of a court, but by the hushed waters of a canal — where stone and tide, like eternal mirrors, catch the reflection of all that was, and is, and is yet to be. Her coif, crowned with ostrich plumes, rose with a haughty grace; the feathers stirred not from the wind’s caprice, but seemed to breathe with the very air itself — trembling as if possessed of life. They were bound by no common means, but with an arcane art: a nameless alloy held them fast, while a delicate filament within the quill lent them a curve that time itself could never wither.She sat upon her horse with a quiet command, moving at a stately pace as if the very wheel of time turned at her pleasure. With a lace collar as intricate as winter’s frost and a coiffure of noble height, she presented an image where elegance and a subtle theatricality walked hand in hand.
“Do you marvel, sir, at my attire?” the lady asked, reining in her steed with a playful inclination of her head. “You regard me with such astonishment — as though I were some exotic curiosity arrived from overseas, or, Heaven forbid, a phantom that hath mistaken the hour and appeared in time for dinner!”
“I behold endurance, Madam,” I replied, my fingers tightening around the cold steel of my device. “Your beauty shall be etched upon mirrored steel, which knows no decay and fears not the rust of passing ages.”
“You speak like an alchemist who hath discovered the philosopher’s stone within my very collar,” she laughed, her voice bright as a bell.

 🇺🇦          "Дама з Амстердама"
Обличчя пані преславної з Амстердама, у шатах модних барокових віку сімнадцятого, мною взороване. Стріла вона мені не в палатах пишних і не при дворі вельможному, а при тихих водах каналу, де камінь і плесо, мов дзерцала вічності, відбивають усе, що було, єсть і буде водночас.
Кобер її, пір’ям страусовим оздоблений, здіймався гордливо, і те пір’я не ламалося під подихом вітру, а жило, мов саме повітря — гнулося й трепетало, немов дихало. Закріплене було воно не абияк, а хитромудро: сплав невідомий тримав його непорушно, а тонка жила у серці пера надавала йому вигину, що не втрачав своєї грації навіки.
Їхала вона верхи, спокійно, ступою дамською, являючи себе світові; постава ж її була такою, наче сам коловорот часу підпорядковувався їй. Крижма мереживна, витончена, мов паморозь зимова, і зачіска висока довершували образ, у якому елегантність і легка театральність перебували в злагоді, не сперечаючись одна з одною.
— Дивуєтеся, пане, моєму убору? — мовила пані, грайливо схиливши голову. — Ви дивитесь на мене з таким ошелешенням, наче я — заморський курйоз, присланий поштою, або, Боже борони, привиддя, що помилилося часом і завітало на обід!
— Я бачу тривання, пані, — відповів я, відчуваючи вагу пристрою в долоні. — Ваша врода закарбується у дзеркальній сталі, яка не знає тліну і не боїться іржі віків.
— Ви говорите, мов алхімік, що знайшов свій філософський камінь у моєму комірі, — вона дзвінко засміялася.

Disliking modern architecture isn't a crime, & doesn't affect shared interest in 18C costume.

A colour photograph in landscape format. It shows an illuminated display case at a country house in Cheshire. There are five incredible pale silk men's waistcoats with embroidery and silk buttons. They are very small, the owner must have been a slight build.

Museum Display case, from August 2025
The Waistcoats of Sir John Fleming Leicester (1762-1827) are beautiful examples of silk and embroidery with silk buttons. Sir John liked a beautiful waistcoat!

Why dress up on Halloween? It began with Celtic Samhain, wearing costumes to repel ghosts. Medieval guising traded prayers for food. Irish & Scottish immigrants brought it to America, evolving into today’s creative costume tradition. #Halloween #CostumeHistory

The #Byzantine clothes are v interesting (we see a model wearing recreation at end), though I don't think the hoodie with padded edge is v attractive. I love the appliqués, though. #CostumeHistory

This fancy dress from our collection is presumably based on this ‚Pierrette‘ fashion plate from January 1884 ‚Der Bazar‘ that was also featured in ‚La Mode Illustrée‘ as ‚Folie‘ (Folly). #1880sfancydress #historyofdress #costumehistory #victorianfancydress #fancydressinspiration #cosprop

A picture of a replica late 15th century doublet. This picture shows the red linen lining and gold silk facings at the edges of the doublet.
This was a common technique since the silk lining could be glimpsed in these places.

The silk facings for a red silk doublet. It was quite common for even the most expensive of clothes to be made in this way.
The lining was made of relatively cheap material -in this case red linen but often thin wool or canvas

Interesting looking at the heel heights that these were made for. Audrey Hepburn's and Mary Pickford's were relatively low. The Duchess of Windsor was on stilts. #costumehistory
