For #FashionFriday an elegant art deco dress from the Museum of the City of New York. In my head cannon I see Fay Wray on the Empire State Building in this dress as King Kong climbs up with her 😀😉. #FashionHistory #NYC #HistoricFashion #Photography 📸 #WestCoastKin

I never did post the finished one! It took exactly a year. Reknit the collar twice, I kept missing one tiny abbreviated instruction which changed the entire shape, but got there. It's warm and cozy and I'm wearing it all the time. Most of all I'm happy to see this pattern come to life.

Exploring the intricate features of Tunic and Band at #ClevelandMuseumofArt. An epitome of elegance and sophistication. Why would you think this piece resonated in its era?

More historic fashion research, this time from 1915 after German airship raids on Britain. You should always wear smart pyjamas in case of a zeppelin raid, naturally.

Going through my stash of old knitting patterns from 1880-1940s to decide what my historic winter knit will be. I think it's time for this Norfolk jacket, which I think was published around September 1911.
I had bought the wool for a 1920s golf jacket to go with my 1890s golf jacket from last year, but... Not feeling it.
