The seemingly casual twist of fabric is always so much more under closer inspection. Dior’s 1951 cocktail dress moved away from the expansive skirts of his first collections and offered the ‘ligne longue’ as a chic little cocktail silhouette #NtlMuseumsScot #KelvingroveArt #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Worn #onthisday in 1969 by Prof. Angela Davis, speaking to students at the University of California, Irvine: "a blue miniskirt and bright paisley blouse," per The Register. UCLA had recently fired her for being a Communist. Her campus visit was cut short by a bomb threat. #OTD @ucirvine.bsky.social
Girls' dress, Kunstmuseum Den Haag, 1770 I don't know what it is, but I really love this one. The purple silk and brocaded flowers make for a beautiful fabric. And there's a lovely balance between that fabric and the white neck rulffles and engageantes. #fashionsky #fashionhistory #dresshistory
