Madame Grès evening dress, fall/winter 1956

Judy Garland’s performance in the “Who?” number from the 1946 MGM technicolor musical drama, Till the Clouds Roll By is seriously one of the most beautiful staged numbers in cinematic history- IMO!  

Edward Molyneux | c. 1939 • • • Designers offered a variety of styles at the end of the 1930s, including wide-skirted dresses, as alternatives to the clinging bias-cut gowns. In August 1939 Vogue described the scope of the Paris collection: ‘Molyneux’s hoop-flared day skirts walk beside Lanvin’s modern peg-topped hobble skirts; Balenciaga’s wide Velázquez paniers dance past Paquin’s tightly wrapped mummy skirts’. This creation by Edward Molyneux has its double-tiered, full skirt held out by four bone hoops. • • • #historicalfashion #fashion #fashiondesign #fashionhistory #historyoffashion #vintagefashion #art #vintage #defunctfashion #costume #costumedesign #couture #costumehistory #edwardmolyneux #1930sfashion #pink #victoriaandalbertmuseum https://www.instagram.com/p/BnFn6voFK5Z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j0a0ui5ioskn

Schiaparelli | c. 1939 • • • This bustled evening dress was worn by a young woman who danced a quadrille at the Gala de la tour Eiffel (Eiffel Tower Ball). The bustle on the pink-and-black-striped satin gown was created by folding in half two rectangular pieces of fabric and pleating them into the waist at the back. • • • #whattheywore #historicalfashion #fashion #fashiondesign #fashionhistory #historyoffashion #vintagefashion #art #vintage #hautecouture #historicfashion #defunctfashion #historicalfashion #costume #schiaparelli #elsaschiaparelli #costumedesign #couture #costumehistory #philadelphiamuseumofart

“Don’t forget, a great impression of simplicity can only be achieved by great agony of body and spirit.”
