Jean-Charles Worth | 1931⠀ ———⠀ ⠀ The House of Worth saw business decline in the early years of the twentieth century, as it lost favor among a younger clientele. The house began to advertise for the first time in the 1920s, calling attention not only to its distinguished heritage but also to its ability to create modern, youthful designs. This dress demonstrates designer Jean-Charles Worth’s talent for embracing a modern aesthetic and silhouette while honoring the tradition of refined workmanship on which the house had built its reputation. Composed of silk tulle, the gown is densely embroidered with silver glass bugle beads that extend into deep layers of fringe and are worked into intricate braids at the shoulders. That the dress has survived is remarkable, given the fragility of the materials used in its composition.

Silk tea gown. 1900–1901 House of Worth. I'm on a #houseofworth kick at the moment. This is a nice example of the teagown made by the House of Worth. This shows the luxurious lifestyle indicative of prominent women of the time. The teagown could be worn without a corset and was therefore a more comfortable form of dress in which one could greet guests at home. Teagowns were a particular vehicle for historicism and fantasy as evidences here with its deliberate interpretation of the 18th-century robe and petticoat form. #history #museumcollection #antiquetextile #instamuseum #museumoninstagram #antiquesilk #historicaldress #costumehistory #fashion #historicalfashion #historicalclothing #dresshistory #fashionhistory #historicalcostume #fashionhistorian #20thcentury #20thcenturyfashion #fashionexhibition #fashioncuration #fashionmuseum #dressmuseum #costumemuseum #historyofcostume #historyoffashion #historyofdress Source: The MET https://www.instagram.com/p/CAoCo3dgCFk/?igshid=1pml5fcz5le53

I’m a few days late, shamefully, but happy anniversary to Devon and Joe! Devon came to me already a customer— she bought a corset way back when I first opened a shop at Faire, and when it came time for a wedding gown, she told me I was the one she wanted to make it. I was so honoured! We threw ideas around with glorious abandon, and when I pitched the idea of riffing on a gorgeous turn of the century House of Worth gown, she was all over it. The original gown was in shades of pink, decked with roses, but Devon met her future husband in a thunderstorm, so we went with silvers and blues and greys, with crystal raindrops on the sleeves. Devon also chose a gorgeous mask instead of a veil, and the perfect fan instead of a bouquet. And the ceremony was at their favourite childhood “haunt”— Knoebels Amusement Park— on the Haunted House Rose! It was so much fun. SO MUCH! And it got featured in Offbeat Bride! . . #wedding #offbeatbride #geekwedding #bridal #geekbride #houseofworth #silk #satin #knoebels #summerwedding #historical #corset #corsets #friends #besthumans

Silk evening dress, 1909–11 House of Worth. The beadwork here is rather exceptional with the curving line over the bust which is elegant and seductive. The tastefulness is in line with the general high taste level of the owner of the dress. There are many pieces in the collection from this owner which show restrained elegance, her clothing as a group makes a complete statement about her aesthetic. #history #museumcollection #antiquetextile #instamuseum #museumoninstagram #antiquesilk #historicaldress #costumehistory #fashion #historicalfashion #historicalclothing #dresshistory #fashionhistory #historicalcostume #fashionhistorian #20thcentury #20thcenturyfashion #houseofworth #fashionexhibition #fashioncuration #fashionmuseum #dressmuseum #costumemuseum #historyofcostume #historyoffashion #historyofdress Source: The MET https://www.instagram.com/p/CAladYzAB0W/?igshid=1u7yjk4jj9vgv
