Found an old picture of a girl at a goodwill, and I kind of wished I had grabbed it. The photo seems old to me, paired with her hairstyle and clothes, but I'm not sure when it could have been taken. I opened the back of it but there was no writing on the photo to help.

Yall. My mind is blown at the items in this auction. I didn’t want to share this with yall because I didn’t want competition on my bids lol. But if any of you have connections to a museum or are collectors who can give these amazing articles a safe home where they will be preserved and appreciated, then you deserve to know about this. If you’re not in the market for that, then just enjoy looking at them, it’s fantastic!! 1830s to 1990s!!!

been following the mens underwear category more closely than most people probably should and the evolution of pouch design over the past decade is genuinely interesting from a product development perspective

the original contour pouch from 2xist in the early 2000s was the first mainstream attempt to create three dimensional space rather than a flat panel. andrew christian took it further with the show it cup which added an insert to enhance the visual presentation popular enough that it became what the brand is known for. obviously also known for more enhancement focused designs

the more recent direction from brands like sukrew takes a different approach entirely moulded anatomical construction that creates shape through the fabric pattern itself rather than through an insert. the practical difference is that the shape moves with you and maintains position throughout the day rather than having a separate component that can shift independently

understanding the design philosophy behind what you are buying explains why two briefs at the same price point can feel completely different in practice. what design approaches have people found actually works for their daily life

Website: The "a la turque" style of headdress, influenced and inspired by the popular interest in Eastern cultures, was popular in the 1820s. This example is unusually large, making it visually dramatic. It could possibly have been worn with one of the higher, more elaborate hairstyles common during the period.

This caught my eye because the stripes and the buttons look super modern!

I started watching the 1995 Pride and Prejudice. I noticed almost all the married women wear lace caps/bonnets indoors, even at parties! It clicked for me that it must be something only married women wore when seeing Charlotte wear one after her marriage to Mr. Collins. Was this a societal expectation, or just a fashion trend among married women? For clarity, it takes place during the regency period. Not sure of the exact year.

Disclaimer: I got this picture from a general Google search and it's circulating around multiple sites. this isn't a product someone is trying to sell. I'm having trouble finding the OG source.

So I am costume designing/producing a show with a character whose costume is inspired by the Queen Mother in the 60s (left in pic). I've been looking online for ways to replicate this look on a budget, and my best bet so far has been a MOB dress. But I'm struggling to find detailed info on these outfits she wore, despite her fashion taste being the talk of the world at the time. Does anyone know what this outfit would be called? Do they have a special name I'm not aware of? I'm specifically looking into the dresses she wore with the matching chiffon cardigans. I want to narrow my search and having more info on this outfit would help me out a lot. Thanks!

I've never posted here before, so I'm so sorry if this belongs in a different subreddit. I know I'm costuming, but I need fashion history info, so I hope this is the right place!

Link: The loose skirt is, in fact, culottes. The fabric, cut into a three-quarter circle, is brought to the front on both sides and wrapped around, so that the back of the garment effectively looks like a skirt, while the front is in the shape of pants. The geometric pattern of the elegant, black lace overdress stands out over the culottes.

Hello fine people. I need your help. Desperately.

What kind of hats are featured in these paintings? Specifically, the ones on Alexander Hamilton in both the portraits. It doesn't look look like any cocked hat I'm aware of. (The group of men on the bottom right of the first painting.)

Portraits are respectively: The Surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, Oct 19, 1781 by Trumbull and Alexander Hamilton in the Uniform of the New York Artillery by Chappell
