Another quick 1968 Graeme, here dancing his little Northern Soul heart out. I'm fascinated by dancing, but drawing it is another challenge altogether.

Please keep my link just where it is, cheers!

I'm also now on Cara, if anyone is hanging out there. Although I'm not leaving all platforms, I am putting in a bunch of stops to protect my work for the future, and I appreciate their mission; keen to meet more artists through here.

A planning sketch for OC Graeme (he/him) in 1968 - you can see the full outfit in my portfolio. I am living for the hat and champagne satin combo - the peacock fashions of the 1960s were a highlight in menswear. Best take that warning to heart.

The Cazaweck is for a morning dress, and is made of jaconet, trimmed all round with embroidery, and closed up the front with straps, which are also embroidered; two more narrower trimmings are placed round the basquine. Pagoda sleeves, embroidered same as the Cazaweck, are opened at small distances, and held by straps; the top of the sleeve is trimmed with narrower embroidery and small straps. The skirt of dress is embroidered and trimmed to match.
A cazaweck from The Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine, December 1855, p.288.
Not much news on what exactly a cazaweck is, save that they appear popular in the mid-century and a description from Graham's Magazine 1856 of 'a cazaweck is a long sack, reaching nearly to the knees, and fitting the body perfectly'. Considering the era, I would vouch it's a variant on 'cassock', perhaps influenced by the Ottoman fashions that were popular at the time.

I've started a blog of historical marginalia over here, as I research things for my historical fiction. Trivia with a focus on fashion and oddities, and on accurate sourcing. Enjoy.
