#FridayFrocks – Continuing with #Underwear, From the mid-1850s to the late 1860s, crinoline cages were widely adopted. This example is narrow in circumference, as it dates from the later 1860s when the fashionable silhouette changed.

'A Woman in a Red Dress Knitting.' (1936) Whilst at the Slade School, Jesse Dale Cast took Henry Tonks’s draughtsmanship to heart. His figures have an almost sculptural stillness about them, reminiscent of Dod Procter’s work from a decade earlier.

I’ve just donated to Crisis at Christmas instead of sending Christmas cards. No hassle & hopefully someone’s life changed forever ❤️
Urgent: Temperatures are falling, dropping to zero across the country last night. Freezing temperatures can be life threatening for those of us without a safe, warm home to go to.
But you can help. Please, if you can, support Crisis at Christmas today: https://bit.ly/4r7coiu

Henry James once quipped his two favourite words in the English language were ‘summer afternoon.’ James Tissot’s picture is of his partner and muse, Kathleen Newton, reading in the garden of their house in Grove End Road, St. John’s Wood, London, in 1878.

The first wintry bite is making itself felt today & thoughts of a cosy cape are very appealing. This early #1880s example is constructed from stranded down filaments & silk so that it is almost weightless but warm. Precursor to the down jacket but in white bobbly style #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
