OMG that dress!

I don’t know who will get less sleep tonight, me waiting for the Met Gala tomorrow, or Drake fearing Kendrick will drop another song.

I just have to make it through today and then to about 5:00-6:00 tomorrow and ITS THE MET GALA

God this is worse than Christmas Eve.

As bitchy as I can be about people not respecting the theme of the Met Gala, I will never insult someone as devastatingly as Kendrick Lamar has ruined Drake with “tryna strike a chord it’s probably A Minor”

The delicate colors of this dress enhance the brocade pattern of the skirt so well.

I love the opulence of the plume print on the skirt.

Robe à Transformation

1875

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

“An air of coquettishness and youthful presence inform this set of French dress coordinates. The colorful and spritely decorative details lend a sense of whimsy. The choice of fabric and the inclusion of alternate bodices made this ensemble appropriate for both late day and evening wear.”

Dress

Grace King, 1870-1875

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

“Designed by the New York dressmaker, Grace King, this is a well-crafted and designed garment that compares favorably to the French pieces of that era. The color combination is extremely attractive and the buttons are noteworthy for their visual appeal. Also of interest, are the petite measurements: bust 29”, waist 21.5", and back shoulder width 10".“

Victorians loved nature so much they often used dead things to decorate their fashion. For real I love it.
