Text of the page (random words):
opinion a 3 and that dropped the rating down to under 9 this time spring flowers on silk in the 1910s could anything be more spring like than a pale green dress painted with pink and peach flowers and could anything be more quintessentially 1909 1912 in style than a pastel evening dress in layers of different textured silks and lace with an empire inspired waistline cut on kimono sleeves and a distinctly classical asymmetrical over drape held in place with ornamental buckles it s every element of ca 1910 evening fashion all in one dress evening dress 1910s hand painted silk chiffon over silk crepe de chine and silk lace sold by whittaker auctions evening dress 1910s hand painted silk chiffon over silk crepe de chine and silk lace sold by whittaker auctions evening dress 1910s hand painted silk chiffon over silk crepe de chine and silk lace sold by whittaker auctions so what do you think the perfect frock for a late edwardian flora to dance the night away in rate the dress on a scale of 1 to 10 a reminder about rating feel free to be critical if you don t like a thing but make sure that your comments aren t actually insulting to those who do like a garment phrase criticism as your opinion rather than a flat fact our different tastes are what make rate the dress so interesting it s no fun when a comment implies that anyone who doesn t agree with it or who would wear a garment is totally lacking in taste as usual nothing more complicated than a 5 i also hugely appreciate it if you only do one rating and set it on a line at the very end of your comment september 4 2025 rate the dress 18th century pinks the 1710s published by the dreamstress getting back to pink in the 18th century we did 1700 1709 now let s look at the 1710s rather than going from palest to darkest like i did in the last post i thought i d start off with a bang and by bang i mean barbie pink this post was written by leimomi oakes for thedreamstress com if it is published somewhere else it has been stolen maria clementina is absolutely 1710s barbie in this amazing mantua side note the women in this post really do have the best names francesco trevisani portrait of maria clementina sobieska 1719 i ve never been a bright pink wearer myself but if i ever found the correct fabric i would love to recreate marie clemantina s ensemble then we have three princess the barbie movie portrait of archduchess maria magdalena of austria 1689 1743 daughter of leopold i holy roman emperor by johann friedrich ardin 1712 portrait of maria anna of austria 1683 1754 daughter of leopold i holy roman emperor by johann friedrich ardin 1712 presumed portrait of archduchess maria elisabeth of austria 1680 1741 daughter of leopold i holy roman emperor by johann friedrich ardin 1712 the three portraits are miniatures which can exaggerate colours so just to confirm that colour appears in other settings here s a significantly more muted portrait except that is for hedwig s lining jan kupecký portrait of hedwig franciska wussin detail 1716 and why stick to just a lining when you could go for a whole dress portrait of an unidentified woman misidentified as bayonne de caupenne d amou dame de piis 1752 1830 basque museum in bayone just in case you are wondering if the paintings are fiction here s some extant examples of that shade have an eyeful of these waistcoat 1733 34 probably french silk metallic thread metropolitan museum of art 1991 220 pair of women s mitts probably italian 18th century blue silk trimmed with bright pink silk and embroidered with flowers mfa boston so if you ever want to do early 18th century barbie the colour is 100 accurate to give your eyes a rest lets look at a portrait with a pale pink dress and then a palest pink pair of shoes madame anna

pinking the ribbon on these gloves is pinked pink pair of gloves italian 18th century milan italy bobbin lace museum of fine arts boston 38 1274a b as the only other similar lace gloves i am aware of are dated to the 2nd half of the 17th century it s plausible this pair is early 18th century it s entirely possible the silk ribbon has been replaced as using fully pinked fabric as a ribbon is quite unusual just in case here s another extant example of that pink stomacher 1700 1730 cream linen embroidered with coloured silks manchester art gallery 1957_455 we could call this stomacher the pinkest
