When Victor Stiebel designed this navy silk dress for Jacqmar in 1954, he built in some adaptable decorative features. There are two different collars and two different coloured floral corsages to mix and match as the mood takes you #V_and_A #FashionHistory

Actually heading out out tonight to a party no less. If I had a fantasy wardrobe I might choose Jean Dessès’s earl #1950s strapless cocktail dress consisting of overlapping scallops of silk. I don’t though. Sadly #V_and_A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

#Ootd is this 1792 dress. It was made in England with fabric from Bengal. At the time, Indian fabrics were highly fashionable. @V_and_A notes the embroidered Neo-classical motifs- a popular trend in Europe, shows that the fabric was intended for a Western market #Fashionhistory

exquisite embroidery. This particular dress has a boned bodice, embroidered with metallic thread and paste gems, and a belted bow to accent the waist. I could do without the baby bows on the skirt, though. #fashionhistory #V_and_A

The wearer of this dress sounds as glamorous as the garment itself, Mrs Opal Halt, a Canadian who liked to buy her clothes in London. This is a mid #1930s Vionnet gown of black velvet with streamers on either side of the shoulders which look like a mini superhero cape #V_and_A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The most impressive display of fashion illustrations is this wall of sketches above or below the photographed outfit for copyright purposes. Again, the contrast is interesting to see. All of these are from 1924-9, and are housed at the #V_and_A.
