Dorothy, Duchess of Wellington as Hecate, Madame Yevonde, 1935. / Self-Portrait with Hecate, Madame Yevonde, 1939.
“It is perhaps fitting that the very last image Yevonde produced during this time should have been a self-portrait pregnant with symbolism and hidden meaning.
The image of Hecate from the Goddess series of portraits of society ladies in classical costume is centrally positioned at the top of the image, as if presiding over the scene below. In ancient times, Hecate, the Moon Goddess and Goddess of the Night and Witches, was frequently portrayed with three heads, representing the waxing, full, and waning phases of the moon.
In her autobiography In Camera, Yevonde described this image of Hecate from the Goddess series as the most interesting of them all. One can but regret that she did not elaborate on this remark since the image must clearly have held some special significance for her to justify its inclusion in the self-portrait and would suggest that in some way or other, Yevonde felt a special bond with her.
In the circumstances, it would perhaps not be too fanciful to suggest that the full moon aspect of Hecate presiding at the top of the self-portrait, as if over Yevonde’s fate, could signify that her life and career had reached their highest point, and that from then onwards, her fortunes would decline like the waning moon. If so, then this was clearly a prophetic statement, since she never again achieved the preeminence she had enjoyed during the inter-war years.”
—Lawrence N. Hole in “The Goddesses: Portraits by Madame Yevonde

I just wanna say that I love all your character redesigns, they're all very beautiful! I also wanna ask if you have any recommendations of sites or books for researching historical fashion.
Thank you so much! I’ve had a lot of fun over the years <3
Historical fashion is a very big amorphous topic so take all of my recommendations with their usual grain of salt and keep in mind that the most important of things are primary sources and authorial context. For example: the portrait of a Queen is generally going to be the beautified propaganda version of the day, but still a primary-ish source of her fashion. Channel your inner historian and examine your sources critically. Who recorded this history? Why?
Photographs are stellar. While there were “photoshop” tricks those usually don’t change the clothing. Extant garments? Bog bodies? Gold mines. So never be afraid to dig into clothing that has been preserved or displayed.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that what kind of fashion and when it happened is going to set the parameters for the majority of your research. It’s too big a topic to have an easy answer, tragic I know. However there are communities upon communities online that specialize in certain historical moments, countries, styles, art, etc, etc, etc.
If you want a really great general overview by decade of Western/European fashion I recommend the website Fashion History Timeline. They don’t have a lot in their Medieval or ancient sections but 14th century to 21st century is a LOT of ground to cover while still being an easy to navigate website.
If you want even more Renaissance to vintage clothing research to the point where you could make or purchase those items yourself there is American Duchess.
And finally, honestly, someone has probably made a YouTube video about it. Double check their research and sources but if you want a plain speech audible research paper with visual aides… it’s kind of the place to be. University lecturers have slide videos up about fashion, the historical “cosplayers” do a ton of research and trial and error construction, history buffs will tell you all about it. There are so many talented people out there, from ‘Not Your Momma’s History’, ‘Off the Great Wall’, ‘Mochi Hanfu’, ‘Dandy Wellington’, ‘Bernadette Banner’, ‘Priorattire’, ‘Pinsent Tailoring’, Mina Le and so so so many more!
And I think that’s everything for now? Let me know if you have more questions
