hey love! just checking in! how is your day going?

hello! ^.^

i'm doing okay - trying to figure out which train to take to get to my acting lessons tomorrow. if i take an early one, i'd arrive way too early, but if i take the next one, i'd barely arrive in time - and that's only if everything is on time and not delayed by a minute (RARE for this country fml), and i don't want to be late for the first lesson of this course. so yeah that's what i'm thinking about ahaha :P

Top ca. 1908 Evening dress by Jays Ltd (V&A). From tumblr.com/frostedmagnolias/733111325324165121? 1125X1375.

Middle ca. 1908 Bodice of evening dress by Jays Ltd (V&A). From tumblr.com/frostedmagnolias/733111325324165121? 1125X1389.

Bottom ca. 1908 Skirt of evening dress by Jays Ltd (V&A). From tumblr.com/frostedmagnolias/733111325324165121? 1125X1378.

The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) notes "The dress is dominated by the boldly embroidered panels imported from Turkey and made up in London. In style this dress is transitional between the pronounced curved shapes of the early 1900s and the straighter lines (with high waists) that had become current by about 1909. There is some evidence that an earlier dress may have been adapted to suit the tastes of 1908. The inside of the bodice has a grosgrain waist stay (grosgrain is a heavily ribbed silk) with the woven label of Jays Ltd, which bears a taffeta ribbon marked 'Lady Pearson', the name of the wearer."

Chatelaine (Ornamental Chain) with the Figure of Judith with the Head of Holofernes

19th century

Germany

“This piece appears to date from the 19th-century, it may be an unfinished work. The central portion of the architectural strap work and the figure of Judith are very similar to a number of double-sided renaissance revival pendants designed and executed by Reinhold Vasters in Aachen, Alfred Andre and Henri Husson in Paris, Salomon Weininger in Vienna, and Gabriel Hermeling in Cologne, as well as others, during the second half of the 19th century.”
