Oh, saints. This dress combines so many things I love in one place!
First of all, we’re in the late 1830s (by my guess), a time of dress transition. You can see the influence of the Romantic with those sleeves, but the hint of later Victorian gowns in the bodice shaping. The particular bodice here is fan-pleated, which is pretty self-explanatory if you look at the way the fabric is both pleated and fanned out. I do adore the result. 
But, ahem, that damask? That color? Purple, always. Of course. For a 200 year old dress, the hue is still so striking. It is not Perkins Purple, however, as it’s two decades too early for that.
The weave? I damn near fell out of my chair looking at it. It’s one of those cases where I wish there were even higher resolutions so I could zoom in and see the stitches. Alas, we are not yet there in terms of technology, so I will instead cope with this.
And then it gets better. Because that silk damask? It’s almost 100 years older than the dress itself. UGH I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Could it have been Spitalfields? Maybe! It’s hard to say because we don’t have the provenance.

I guess I'm on Tumblr now!
I mean, I've been here for a bit. But now I'm here here.
So, this is a place where I can share my pithy thoughts and ponderings about all sorts of things. You'll find some reposts from @threadtalk, but it'll likely skew toward writing, publishing, and things of that nature.
Also medieval memes.

That is the bluest kind of blue, and given its date (1866-1867) we know it's been dyed with the technologically cutting-edge aniline dyes of the period. As the museum (the Glasgow Museum) notes, some dresses of this era faded with time, but not so in this case.
You can already see the shape of this gown streamlining slightly, the bodice creeping toward the more tailored, masculine styles of the 1870s and 1880s. The monochrome look was very popular at the time, with the then-new House of Worth (who at the time was working with Bobergh). You can see very similar gowns from the duo at the Met, in fact, often in a gorgeous lavender hue.

Staying bundled up with my "Love" Blanket from Thread Talk. Now that it's getting warmer, I like to keep my AC on 24/7, but I get extremely lazy to turn it off when it gets too cold so I use my new "Love" Blanket to keep me warm. I'm obsessed with this blanket because of how soft it is. I also like the gray/light pink combo. Also, I absolutely love their mission statement. Thread Talk donates a portion of their proceeds to domesticshelters.org to help fund the critical wish list items needed for their more than 2600+ nationwide shelters. They're all about empowering women and support victims of domestic violence across the country. I highly recommend that you check them out! @threadtalklinens #threadtalk #blanketsforgood #sponsored
