My biggest teaching surprise of the Fall is that while I'm fine with teaching a 2-5pm class, I absolutely despise teaching a 3-6pm class. It doesn't seem like one hour should matter that much, but it does. I will never do it again if I can help it. 😅

We have some of the highest rainfall levels in the UK here on #Dartmoor in the South West. Waterproofs form a necessary and frequent part of the wardrobe, but they are nothing new. Here two #1860s gals braving the elements in proofed rain mantles. It’s only weather #FIDMMuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Last week a German journalist contacted me after finding my book at MoMA, so I of course had to go see it there for myself! ❤️ My first time seeing it in a bookstore! Very exciting. 😍
Anyone who goes to see the Sargent show at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, please snap a pic of my book in that shop. 🙏

I'm virtually positive the 2 women on the left are the same and the 2 women on the right (boater/red hat) are the same, but do we think they're all the same woman? What about the 2 blondes? I think they're the same, but are they yet a 3rd woman? These are all paintings by Louise Abbéma. #arthistory

You don’t have to wait for nightfall to view the stars when the cosmos are on the butterflies.

Saturdays in summer herald wedding season and this was a colourful bride, a gown worn by Harriet Joyce on June 8 1899 for her marriage to Percy Sams.
