As we say goodbye to February, here is an 1880 Australian gown in a gorgeous deep red. Despite the bright color and the luxurious fabrics, it is indeed a day dress. Heavy fabrics like brocaded silks and velvets made harsher angles and sculptural draperies of the period possible #Fashionhistory #ootd

If you're looking to transition your cat to indoor-only due to H1N1, great! There are many other benefits, too. But it may not go well if you just shut them in and call it a day, you need to commit to giving them an enriched indoor environment with lots of play. felineengineering.com/blog/indoor-...

I know that #1830s sleeves are not everybody’s cup of tea, but I have long been fascinated by their variety. The position of the balloony part of the construction tells all about the date, here the pleated shoulder and elbow length puff points to c1837 @metcostume.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I didn't realise Galileo had an impact on the development of microscopes, although it makes sense in retrospect to think of them as 'reverse telescopes' 🤯

It is rare to see an entire gown of this period quilted from top to toe. It meant the wearer would benefit from the added layers that the density of the quilted fabrics offered, a warmer garment for draughty houses, #1750s @metcostume.bsky.social 🗃️🪡

Evening dresses, Lanvin (left) and unknown (right), Paris, 1911. In Paris in the early 1910s, apparently these high waists and vibrant colours were all the rage. They're really quite beautiful, especially the green #Lanvin one. From Kyoto Costume Institute. #dresshistory #fashionhistory #ootd

Linen one-piece dress, Paul Poiret, 1911. Hard to do this justice in words. The unbleached linen gives it a wonderfully simple look. The red embroidery is in a Russian style that Poiret learned on his travels. He made this dress for his wife Denise. Beautiful. #fashionhistory #dresshistory #ootd

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously. Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause." They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.
