Rebecca OldsFantastic to attend the preview last night of The School of Historical Dress's new exhibition "Blue" and see the c.1700-1710 mantua that they acquired *completely unpicked* alongside the reconstruction that I and seven other students of historical dress helped the School make last month.

Described by The Met as a winged polonaise, this French silk dress was probably (due to its size) worn by a young woman, 1778-80 #dress #1770s #dresshistory #fashionhistory
The School of Historical Dress has announced the dates for the new "BLUE" exhibition in its series "Our Collections by Colour".
One star attraction will be the 18th century mantua that I and other students helped re-construct last month.
I will be visiting the exhibition preview on Thursday evening and will finally be able to share 'final reveal' photos!

Rick GaehlThe Musée de l'Orangerie, in Paris, houses Monet's huge waterlilly paintings, which he created for the state in the aftermath of WWI. He helped to design the oval galleries where they are displayed, but died shortly before the museum was officially opened.
When I'm in Paris, I nearly always go and visit this space. It's one of the most perfect marriages of art and setting that I know, and its tranquility stands in marked contrast to the nearby Louvre.

HollyAs I stood in the museum admiring this old dress, I could hear a ghostly voice faintly whispering to me from the past.
"It has pockets!"
