Rhinestones and Ducktape

My name's Trixi. I'm a fabric jockey by day and drag queen by night. I like stuff, and long verb(s) on the noun. I also like eating canned fish. This is my blog, and it is filled with general silliness, skulls, makeup, wild gay rants, and depressing word vomit about being single. Hope you love it!!

I was seeing if there were more pictures of some of the costumes I made for Bebe under the hashtag here and found a bunch of negative reviews of the looks from annoying gay guys. But they all had like 14 notes on them while gif sets of the skirt and suit are 500-1500. Sooooo, I’m not too bothered. :P

Afternoon Dress | House of Worth | c.1872 — The extraordinary color and variety of textiles in the stunning afternoon dress attest to the refinement of the French textile industry. Fine variations between the satin and bengaline illustrate how Worth built his reputation on subtlety and luxury.

The bustle silhouette, although primarily associated with the second half of the 19th century, originated in earlier fashions as a simple bump at the back of the dress, such as with late 17th-early 18th century mantuas and late 18th- early 19th century Empire dresses. The full-blown bustle silhouette had its first Victorian appearance in the late 1860s, which started as fullness in skirts moving to the back of the dress. This fullness was drawn up in ties for walking that created a fashionable puff. This trendsetting puff expanded and was then built up with supports from a variety of different things such as horsehair, metal hoops and down. Styles of this period were often taken from historical inspiration and covered in various types of trim and lace. Accessories were petite and allowed for the focus on the large elaborate gowns. Around 1874, the style altered and the skirts began to hug the thighs in the front while the bustle at the back was reduced to a natural flow from the waist to the train. This period was marked by darker colors, asymmetrical drapery, oversize accessories and elongated forms created by full-length coats. Near the beginning of the 1880s the trends altered once again to include the bustle, this time it would reach its maximum potential with some skirts having the appearance of a full shelf at the back. The dense textiles preferred were covered in trimming, beadwork, puffs and bows to visually elevate them further. The feminine silhouette continued like this through 1889 before the skirts began to reduce and make way for the S-curve silhouette. #whattheywore #historicalfashion #fashion #fashiondesign #fashionhistory #historyoffashion #vintagefashion #art #vintage #historicfashion #defunctfashion #historicalfashion #costume #costumedesign #couture #costumehistory #victorianstyle #victorianfashion #victorian #purple
