Girolamo Giuseffi decided to throw it all at this gown. It needed cut velvet panels, lace, chiffon overlays, net, rhinestones and silk covered baubles. He also decided that electric blue & cream would make the most vivid impression & he wasn’t wrong. Gown c1912 #newfieldstoday #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Back view of a c1912 evening dress which has a complex arrangement of a central blue velvet panel at the back edged with net sleeves, the passementerie hanging from the elbows and the waist. It has a high collar Side view of the blue and cream c1912 evening dress with many layers of decoration including blue cut velvet, blue chiffon, cream lace and net and blue and silver passementerie

On what would have been Pierre Balmain’s birthday, a bouquet of a dress. The embroidery crowds the sculpted strapless bodice but peters out as the skirt descends. Mid #1950s and lovely #NewfieldsToday #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A closer examination of the strapless bodice of Balmain’s 1953 ballgown creates the impression of a decorative ceramic, moulded in white with a fruit of floral embellishments trailing towards the hem #newfieldstoday #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

This looks as if it were a fun wedding dress worn by Arline Nelson in 1935. The dress itself is all kinds of crinkled velvet loveliness but that little matching cap! #NewfieldsToday #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

There was no need for the dressmaker to worry about decorative additions to this early #1860s gown. Emerging dye and print technologies gave this wool challis all of the drama the dress needed #NewfieldsToday #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Partial view of the top half of a bright blue wool dress printed with sprays of flowers. It has a round neck and wide sleeves with white cotton undersleeves showing A partial view of the skirt of the bright blue 1860s crinoline dress focusing on the drape of the skirt and the vividness of the colours and pattern Full length view of the front of the bright blue floral printed crinoline dress which is plain other than the vibrancy of the pattern

It is unusual to observe a garment from an aerial view but the expanse of this late 1880s Worth Russian court gown requires a broader view. The emerald velvet train & bodice have been heavily embellished with crystals, sequins & foil for a truly encrusted ensemble #newfieldstoday #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

From the side it almost appears as if a mermaid is emerging from her glistening tail to take human form and step ashore to wreak havoc and heartbreak. In reality it is a mid #1920s blue velvet gown by Callot Soeurs with a wonderfully expansive train #newfieldstoday #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Side view of a blue velvet sleeveless dress showing the front falling to just below the knee and the back falling to a long split hemmed train Front view of the blue velvet sleeveless dress with the shorter front and longer back. It has wide shoulder straps and is embroidered centre front with two silver bows Back view of the blue velvet sleeveless dress with a deep V centre back and a silver strap connecting the top of the shoulders. It falls to a long train that splits in two triangular pieces
