Re: [h-cost] 1830's fashion
I recently got a copy of "The Rise and Fall of the Sleeve (Scottish museum pub) that has pics from all the mags of that period.? Also, publications relating to the Lowell Mills have much info and some pics. -Original Message- From: Sent 5/3/2011 7:25:50 AM To: h-cost...@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] 1830's fashionGoday's Lady's magazine starts in the 1830's in Philadelphia I believe. Here's a link http://www.accessible.com/accessible/aboutGL.jsp But fashion plates don't always get the idea of what real people are wearing (just like today) so it's good to look at the real thing. There are fine examples of real gowns in that big thick book of fashion exhibits by the Kyoto Museum. (Is it just called "Fashion"? I can't remember) Here's a lovely walking gown at the Met Museum in NYC scroll about halfway down the page: http://knot-cha-cha.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html And I always like to see what the gowns look like in movement, on a person. So I'll look at something in film or TV that is well designed remembering they are costumes not actual gowns of course. BBC did a miniseries of "Wives and Daughters" which is in the 1830's. Check that out. -Original Message- From: e...@huskers.unl.edu To: Historical Costume Sent: Tue, May 3, 2011 2:10 am Subject: [h-cost] 1830's fashion A friend is looking for sources on 1830's fashion, specifically in Washington, DC (if that ends up being relevant), and I'm rather out of my depth. What are the best sources for that era? What would you recommend to someone who isn't a costume historian but would like to get the details right in a description?
