While not strictly golden, #ootd is this 1897 Worth ball gown. It's made of ivory silk, but is decorated with golden metallic threaded embroidery and tiny sequins and rhinestones. Made by Jean-Philippe Worth, this is some of Worth at its best. #Fashionhistory #NGVMelbourne

#Ootd is this 1913 silk gown with a chiffon and black net overlay, and decorated with glass beads and gelatin sequins. #NGVMelbourne notes that it mimics a Grecian double peplos, a loose-fitting outer garment pinned at the shoulders and then folded to make a flap. It was also worn with a belt

Today's #ootd is this 1955 cocktail dress and coat attributed to Dior. Although we cannot see the dress, the coat is so outstanding that it could be a dress in and of itself. It's so light and airy, draped yet structured—perfection. #fashionhistory #NGVMelbourne

Full length black sleeveless evening dress of black beads and chiffon trim
It looks to me as if this c1930 evening is cut on the bias but with heavily bead embellishment, catching the light across its angled surface to the forks of chiffon at the hem. Designed by the house of Paquin, it is a slinky evening gown of many variations in black #ngvmelbourne #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Three quarter view of a cream dress layered with a lace tunic and self coloured embroidery across the skirt in floral and leafy motifs
Described as a tea dress, this gown would likely not have been worn outside of the home. Yet what a beauty it is, lacy and embellished in ethereal shades. I hope that the wearer enjoyed its flow of fabric and textured surfaces, c1912 #ngvmelbourne #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
