time for an extremely specific fashion history question: does anybody have any references to what winter wear for common people looked like in western europe in approx the mid-1700s??? anything from around 1720-1780 would be an amazing help, especially menswear. just practical warm clothing and work wear for the outdoors.

I have been Googling for hours and I’m getting almost nothing useful, mostly just upper class fashion, which is basically the opposite of what I’m looking for

I’m obsessed with this wonderful photoshoot from the new Dangerous Liaisons on Starz!

must i be “attractive” and “have a useful skill” and be “a contributing member of society”? is it not enough to wear period clothing and watch cartoons with queer representation?

Style & Society: Dressing the Georgians is at the Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace, through October 8, 2023.

This exciting exhibition from the Royal Collection explores what the Georgians wore, from the practical dress of laundry maids to the glittering gowns worn at court. Discover what fashion can tell us about life in the 18th century, a revolutionary period when trade, travel and technological innovations fuelled fashion trends across all levels of society. Delve into the Georgians’ style story and get up close to magnificent paintings, prints and drawings by artists including Gainsborough, Zoffany and Hogarth, as well as luxurious textiles, sparkling jewellery, and a range of accessories from snuff boxes to swords.

I was about to be irritated at a shitty "kids' education" website on 1770s clothing but then I learned that there's a staymaker buried at King's Chapel and now I'm just delighted to know the gravesite of a clothing worker from that era and I want to take him flowers
