Slik jeg fikk det forklart (for 10+ år siden), så gjøres det målinger av representative utvalg i ulike marked (f.eks. Nord-Europa), ofte for individuelle selskap. De utarbeider så interne størrelsessystem basert på proporsjoner de regner seg frem til basert på statistikk fra målingene.

Described as light orange crepe with light orange tulle this sounds like a festive dessert. It was designed by Mainbocher in 1946 and includes an integral jewel positioned at the neck @chicagomuseum.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

What a great day to be thankful for what you have! Once you start to see the value in “obsolete” technology, it’s impossible to justify just how short our upgrade cycles have become.

Call me crazy, but I think TVs, phones, computers, etc SHOULD last for decades.

John Galliano was born #OnThisDay in 1960. He designed this interpretation of a robe à la française for Dior's A/W 00 couture collection. The 'Angie' evokes the life of Marie Antoinette through motifs and a replica of the diamond necklace. Currently on display in the V&A. #fashionhistory

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Viewing objects in isolation allows a deeper understanding of its structure. This mid 18th century bodice would have had an equally sumptuous skirt but without it we can appreciate its shape, construction and even its lining #MuseodelTraje #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Illustration and gown capture a briefly fashionable moment in the annals of the early #1900s where pale lace or cotton covered the shoulders then extended to a vibrant gown beneath. There is an illusion here of revealing whilst simultaneously covering up museumatfit #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The tailormade was a chic addition to the fashionable wardrobe in the #1880s, echoing aesthetics of the sailor suit for seaside promenades. They don’t survive often, the fabric was often reused for children’s clothes so this is a rare example @museemccordstewart.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Yves Saint Laurent’s tenure at Dior included the experimentation with the puff ball hem in evidence here in a rosebud of a cocktail dress. The rose theme is echoed in the skirt and the placement of a single self coloured bloom. 1960 #museumatfit #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

3 screenshots from X-Men the Last Stand. Screenshot 1: A mutant standing on a stage in a church talking to a crowd saying: "Nobody's is talking about extermination." Screenshot 2: Magneto standing in the church saying "No one ever talks about it. They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you." Screenshot 3: Magneto on the stage talking to the crowd saying "And then, one day, when the air is still and the night has fallen, they come for you."

Some #1930s whimsy, consisting of broad multi coloured stripes and a puffy bustle style arrangement at the back of the otherwise straight silhouette. It is Schiaparelli, deploying some playful details @philamuseum.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Four panel comic with crudely drawn stick people. Panel 1: A lime green person with a round head is talking to an olive green person, who has a square head. A grayscale person with a round head is interjecting from the side. Olive: "So I do actually have a lot of issues with tetraphobia from round head green people. It's an issue I really think should-" Grayscale: "Haha so true! Round greens are the worst! I hate round greens!" Panel 2: Zoom in on Olive, looking frustrated. They say: "No. Disappear." Panel 3: Zoom on grayscale, who begins talking and continues into the next panel. "wow okay so this unprovoked hostility is exactly why the chromatic movement is losing popularity every single day. you're lucky i don't become chromophobic now, even though [the panel cuts off, the grayscale person is still talking while walking away in the next panel] you have been treating me like this. I used to be an enthusiastic follower of chroma ideology and even said green people are actually green, so i hope you're proud of yourself for alienating your sorely needed allies. i will no longer support you and your chromagenda" Panel 4: While the above monologue occupies half the panel, a gold person shows up. Olive: "So as I was saying-" Gold: "Hey why are you defending round head green people's tetraphobia? They're not above criticism!" Olive: "I am not doing that." Lime, in small text: "how do you have the stamina for this"

Candy stripes of the early #1820s variety, running both vertically down the skirt and diagonally across the bodice. In addition to the gauzy puff sleeves and leafy hem, there is a matching reticule swinging from the waist, V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Spring is definitely springing here in the south of England, and so warmer weather heralds dreams of lighter fabrics. They don’t come much flimsier than this sheer printed cotton, a cloud of cloth from the early #1870s @metcostume.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The full impact of white lace becomes apparent when it is arranged over a bright colour. Traditionally Honiton lace is made with navy blue cover cloths over the pillow but here a much brighter version for a late #1860s gown, Museum of Lace Belgium #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

This early 1820s day dress shows the transition out of the stereotypical Regency style: the waist lowering toward the natural level and the skirt gaining fullness. 🗃️🪡 www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...
A gown of silk taffeta woven with peach and tan stripes that shade into each other. Wide neckline, raised waistline. Long sleeves, topped with a double puff, the top one larger and the lower one very small, with a row of decorative buttons down the end of the sleeve. The bodice is trimmed with a wide V of self-fabric-covered cord. The skirt ends in three ruffles. A view of the same gown from the side, showing how much fullness is gathered into the back of the skirt. The sleeve buttons look less decorative and more functional here. A view of the same gown from the back, showing the gathering of the skirt even more clearly. There is a bow at the back of the skirt, showing that it ties, but the bodice does not close at center back.
