Not that the UK #heatwave has affected my choices at all but... an icy blue tulle evening gown from Femina 1946 for #FashionFriday. I feel cooler just looking at it... 🧊 #fashionhistory #historicfashion #fashionmagazines #fashionillustration #fashionarchives @dmu.ac.uk @librarydmu.bsky.social

Today, we’re sharing another item from our collections. These photographs show a decoratively painted silk jacket in a high-waisted spencer style. The clothing is likely to date from the late Victorian or early Edwardian periods.

ICYMI: Check out our BOTM blog post for #FashionFriday, delving into 1970s crimes of #Fashion with the Grattan Catalogue. What's your verdict? 👉️ buff.ly/FrqU7NU #fashionhistory #dmufashion #historicfashion @dmufashionmarketing #fashion #fashioncatalogues #1970sstyle

Milliner's estate sales are not the kind of event I would ordinarily attend, but I am not my spouse, a costume designer, who would, so we did. #haberdashery, #milliner, #millinery, #hatmaking, #costume, #costumedesign,#historicfashion, #artiswhereyoufindit, #colortheory

BOTM: Guilty as charged: 1970s fashion felonies! Our latest blog puts the Grattan catalogues on trial for #EYAcrimes of #Fashion buff.ly/TYjzpe1 But behind the satire lies a rich resource of 1970s trends. #historicfashion @librarydmu.bsky.social #NationalYearofReading @exploreyourarchive.bsky.social

From a fashion style perspective I’m in the wrong century. Here are a few outfits I think I look good in, a high bar to reach (I’ve always disliked my looks). The common thread is Lisa made all of these. Alt for details.
