February: Coeli's Monochrome Picks

Sweethearts / Jeanette MacDonald as Gwen Marlowe

Although this movie was actually shot in Technicolor, this is such a nice monochrome photo that I'm putting it in as a bonus for today! The gown is by Adrian.

I brought beautiful Cobasi yarn by Hikoo for a tunisian project I have realized I have no interest in actually making (tunisian ain't for me).

But guess what requires fingering weight yarn?

...and a 1mm hook?

Let's goooooo.

Le Petit écho de la mode, no. 44, vol. 20, 30 octobre 1898, Paris. 1. Corsage de bal ou de dîner. Collier Cyrano. Ville de Paris / Bibliothèque Forney

No. 1. Parmi les dernières créations parues pour la saison des bals, nous avons choisi, dans le nombre, un charmant collier, dit "Esclavage," dont la simplicité et le bon goût nous ont séduit. Il est en perles fines de moyenne grosseur et mesure l m 76de long; le fermoir, un vrai bijou, représente une marguerite, avec perle fine entourée de simili-brillants; les personnes qui ne mettront pas de fleur au corsage laisseront voir ce fermoir qui formera une garniture charmante, surtout s'il retient une draperie ou un papillon de dentelle.

Le prix modeste de ce collier le met à la portée de toutes les bourses; son prix est de 7 fr. 95, franco par la poste.

Corsage de bal ou de dîner, composé d’une doublure ajustée, voilée de mousseline de soie et garni de deux draperies de velours retenues sur la poitrine par un bouquet de fleur. Ceinture de velours, manche froncée laissant voir le bras.

No. 1. Among the latest creations published for the ball season, we chose, among the number, a charming necklace, called "Esclavage," whose simplicity and good taste seduced us. It is made of medium-sized fine pearls and measures 1.76 m long; the clasp, a real jewel, represents a daisy, with a fine pearl surrounded by imitation diamonds; People who do not put a flower on the bodice will leave this clasp visible which will form a charming decoration, especially if it holds a drapery or a lace butterfly.

The modest price of this necklace puts it within the reach of all budgets; its price is 7 fr. 95, free by post.

Ball or dinner bodice, composed of a fitted lining, veiled in silk muslin and garnished with two velvet draperies held on the chest by a bouquet of flowers. Velvet belt, gathered sleeve revealing the arm.

baffled at how 1990s keeps winning "best decade for fashion" polls like is it just bc more people on here are old enough to remember it? bc if you ask me it's very obvious that the best decades of the 20th century for fashion were the 1900s, the 1950s and the 1970s
