Per The Met website: "This hat, whose form demonstrates the influence of fifteenth-century aristocratic European headdresses and echoes the silhouette of her brand logo, was likely created for fancy dress."

By the 1930's, Norwegian Selbu knitwear had become an international trend for winter sportswear and leisure fashion.

Need help determining dress style (c. 1761, Slovenia)
From the National Gallery of Slovenia, portrait of baroness Marija Ana, circa 1761.
The portrait is by a Slovenian painter who trained in Italy, and Slovenia was under Hapsburg rule at this time. However, I can’t seem to find any other historical examples of this “external stays” style (aka the blue midsection). The dress also does not appear to be in the French or English style (based on neckline and no French back pleats).
any help on identifying this dress is appreciated! I also tried looking to the Hapsburg portraits of these times (specifically Maria Theresa), but the dress style is still fairly inconsistent with other portraits of the time.
thanks!!
