Two mannequins posed in 1820s style. One wears a long blue silk pelisse and holds a small reticule. The other wears a white cotton dress with a short bronze silk Spencer jacket. Both have shoulder puffs and long sleeves
I do love the details that are stitched into the construction of early #1820s outerwear. Whether it is the long pelisse or the short fitted spencer, the hand worked shoulder puffs and appliqués decorating the bodices are beautifully subtle #cincyartmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Aunt Ethel has fainted clean away, the twins are screeching and mother has dropped her crumpets in the fire. #1860s ensemble #cincyartmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
A mannequin posed as if dancing in a layered black and white evening dress. It has a wide black sash, short white draped sleeves and various metallic embellishments over the bodice
An evening dress that captures fashion in transition as it races towards the jazz age. Skirts are shortening, but there are echoes of the past in its aesthetic, the earlier 1900s still present in the sleeve arrangement & busy embellishment, c1918 #cincyartmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
A mannequin caught in the act of dancing. She is wearing a yellow silk organza dress consisting of a strapless beaded bodice and a layered skirt. It has a matching stole of the same sheer fabric
Captured mid twirl, Balenciaga’s early #1960s golden gown with its beaded bodice sparkles above the layered silk organza. A swathe of a stole floats about the gown, caught in the act of movement #cincyartmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Two mannequins wearing 1860s gowns, one a yellow silk with net under bodice and the other a cream with pink trimmings in a period room setting
What is happening here then? The lady decked out in early #1860s buttercup yellow silk is seemingly oblivious to the observer behind her. Are they rivals, both competing for the affections of another or friends plotting their escape from the dullest of parties? #cincyartmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
