I love the bright colors of the 1890s, did they invent the concept of a "pop of color"?

Christian Dior | ‘Soireé de Décembre’ | c.1955 ——— This silk faille evening dress is from Dior’s Y Line. The seemingly simple princess line gown is a sculptural masterpiece. Here the front of the skirt is short, reaching lower calf level - at the back the skirt forms an impressive train that sweeps the floor. The hem and neckline are stiffened and lined to hold the rigid shape. The particular dress was ordered from Dior by Margot Fonteyn, a long-standing client of Dior. Swipe to see her in the gown as well as @kirstendunst in a version recreated by the House of Dior for the 2017 Oscars. (@vamuseum no.

"Ooh, your neckline looks neat where the necklace left marks against the paint. Let me take a picture!" I said. Then @stepifani grabbed her boobs. Not what I had in mind but I decided to roll with it! #Backstage at #edwardianball, my first time participating in @darkgardencorsetry's #fashionshow. This #corset has molded #bracups covered in #silkfaille and a #mandarincollar to create a face (and cleavage) framing neckline. (at The Regency Ballroom)

Sometimes one just needs to borrow a staircase! We ran away to England for a quick trip, appreciating every minute of the gift of travel. . . #lilyabsinthelife #lilyabsinthe #antiquesilklampas #silkfaille #silktaffeta #antiquehat #promenadegown #staircase #victoriandress #victoriangown #victorianstyle #antiquelace (at Quantock Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU8a2RjFz2o/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day Six of #VictorianFebruary hosted by @ladyrebeccafashions is: "Feminine"...there's nothing that describes that to me more than layers of pink, worn inside and out. There's a perfect shade of pink for everyone, what's your favorite shade of pink? . . . #VictorianFebruary #pink #salmon #fuchsia #silkfaille #antiquelace #victorianfashion #victorianoldwest #bustledress #historicalcostuming #victorianstyle #lilyabsinthe #silkduchessesatin #latevictoriancorset #1880s #1890s #1900s https://www.instagram.com/p/CK-R9oIjWEf/?igshid=1gptbpiqbbnns

#valentino #black #silkfaille #minkcollar #eveningcoat #ribbonrosettes This amazing coat is only a few seasons old, it retailed for $ 8000. Barely, if ever, worn, it is a classic piece that will never go out of style. Fits a small size 4. #newintheshop #shop #linkinbio at the top of our page. @valentino @palmbeachvintage #antiquerowwpb
