Charles Frederick Worth, 1910. Around 1910, leading fashion houses such as Worth created evening dresses with a straight silhouette. Their impact depended on the juxtaposition of colours and a variety of luxurious and richly decorated fabrics. On this garment, vivid velvet pile is set against light-reflecting beadwork, and the triple-tiered matt net overskirt covers the sheen of the trained satin skirt. The pillar-like look exemplified by this dress replaced the exaggerated curves of the early 1900s. It also shows how designers broke the strong vertical emphasis by creating overskirts with horizontal lines. The bodice, however, is still boned (nine bones).

Weekend Reading: Love You Forever:

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. I can’t read the mere book description without tearing up. Yes, it’s a children’s book, technically. But I guarantee this book will get you at any age.

Treat Yourself!

Treat Yourself!:

Mother’s Day is coming, but we’re not all mothers. We are all special for who we are. If someone wants to celebrate you, awesome. But in the meantime, you can celebrate yourself. Any Day! It doesn’t have to be expensive. Read a good book, see a movie alone, soak in the tub, do some yoga, whatever lifts your spirits. Happy weekend!
