the idea of a clutch purse is nightmarish to me. the whole point of bags was so we could escape the torment of holding things. and now u gotta hold a bag.

Dress

1805-1810

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

This beautiful evening dress is a great example of the delicate sheer fabrics that were favored during the era. It also shows how simplicity could also be extravagant, heavily embroidered with thread made from hammered silver wire that would have glittered in a candle-lit ballroom. The romantic love of the natural is represented through the wheat, a symbol of fertility and abundance, and a love of the exotic is shown through the peacock feathers.
