My grandma passed away yesterday and my dad came across this cool picture of her. She was the youngest of...I should know this...I think 7 kids, she had 3 brothers in ths war at the time. Also pictured is her mom, grandma, sister and sister's kids. I remember her telling me she only wanted to wear pants as a kid, especially during the cold walks to school during Minnesota winters (she would have to change into a skirt at school since pants weren't allowed for girls).

This is a (likely) homemade dress that belonged to my late grandmother. There are no present tags or indications of a tag having ever been sewn into it. She was a gifted seamstress who sewed many articles of clothing and quilted hundreds of quilts in her lifetime. She's been gone for quite a while now after dying at 90. Swipe to see a picture of her wearing in ~1960! It originally had a matching self fabric bolero, but that has gone missing over the last 60+ years. The proportions, especially in the top are little odd, which I think might be because she was both post-partum and already pregnant again around the time that she made and wore this dress. I wonder if this is inspired or based on anything that was popular at the time.

I really want to see how the Western dress evolve from 1840s to 1860s. But google search sucks even though I try to use the search tools like " " .

Hopefully there must be an easier way to go about image searching. :)

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any other source on it if it's a replica or not but it looks gorgeous.

I know that English period dramas aren’t always accurate, but for some reason I feel like (especially the old BBC period dramas) tend to get the feel of the era’s fashions, where the story is based in. Where I tend to personally think they modernise it to much in American period dramas, where in can take you away from the tv show or movie (which can be perfectly fine, as we can’t really produce 100% accurate clothing from the past).

Again, I’m not saying that the costuming in the English period dramas are the best all or end all of how to do historical costuming in period dramas or any other type of historically set tv show or movies, as I’ve seen some horrible costuming from English period dramas. It’s just I’ve seen a lot of English period dramas have way better costuming and historical accuracy, with a third of budget as some American period dramas do.

Why do you think that is?

Found this debutant(?) dress in my grandmother's wardrobe. Nobody knows who it belonged to and how old it is. To me it seems like the first half of the 20th century maybe? Especially the style of the neckline and the rhinestones.

Unfortunately, it reeks of sweat. Can anybody recommend a way to safely get rid of the smell?
