Blue for a Wedding: An 1872 Dress at the Grand Rapids Public Museum

This blue silk dress was offered up in the Fashion and Nature exhibition to point out yet another natural resource that was used for fashion: mother of pearl. You can see in the mannequin’s hands one such shell punched through with holes, each hole having been made into a button. Before plastic, mother of pearl was an easily found and satisfyingly decorative way to make buttons. And you can find all sorts of vintage mother of pearl in antique stores and online.

This was a wedding dress which tells you that not everyone married in white at the time. Although you will notice the touches of white lace at the collar and at the edges of the wide sleeves. These both drew attention to the face and hands and showed off a bit of luxury. Of course, the rich silk of the dress shows off luxury as well.

This dress offers such typical elements of Victorian women’s clothing: the tight bodice through the waist, the large and long flared skirt, and multiple kinds of decorative embellishment: including ribbon, fringe, and lace. The ribbon follows the cut of the dress and emphasizes the narrowness of the waist by swooping in from the shoulders along with the fringe. The ribbon also swoops around the sleeves and then around the overskirt as well along with the fringe. There is also a swirl of ribbon creating a little ornament on the sleeve just after the elbow. And, of course, do not forget the mother-of-pearl buttons shutting the dress. And this was far from the most ornamented of Victorian gowns. In fact, this is one of the simpler ones. They really liked to gussy up a dress in the mid to late 19th Century.

You can see it for yourself at Fashion and Nature running now at the Grand Rapids Public Museum: https://www.grpm.org/fashion-and-nature/

Camille Dress

Sorry for the silence on my end, I had a lot of issues (flooding, tons of heat, etc), but now i'm enjoying a well deserved vacation and I had the time to finish this dress and a few other items (and good lord, simblreen is coming up too...)

So here is the Camille dress! This truly deserves the term "frankenmesh", since it contains parts of a dress of Sifix, of a shirt by Simverses, and by a dress by Linzlu! A big thank you to all these creators!

It's a day dress for your sims, good enough to spend a morning in it, or even to pay some calls to the neighbors!

includes parts from Sissi's Dress by @linzlu, the TSM Bard Blouse by @simverses and the Cressida Dress by @sifix (thank you to everyone 💕)

38 swatches

high polycount!!!!

Please do NOT claim as yours.

Do NOT put behind paywalls.

Wedding Dress

France

House of Worth

This unique wedding dress is made of silk duchess satin and tulle.The skirt is decorated with handmade wax bouquets. They depict “fleur d’orange” — pure white flowers of the orange tree, which were a traditional element of wedding clothing and a symbol of virginity. The previous owner of the dress — Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) — dates it back to 1903-1904, but it is possible that it was made earlier. The ceinture (waistband of the bodice) carries an embroidered logotype of House of Worth.

Victoria Museum Kyiv, Ukraine
