The Maid, Wilhelm August Lebrecht Amberg, 1862

[ozzgin]

Take my skull, crack it open, and drink from it like a goblet—I’d feel blessed to quench your thirst. Rip my lungs out, let them hang from your ceiling as trophies while I suffocate. Pull my intestines out, knot them into a leash, and drag me behind you—I’ll crawl like the grateful pet I am. Carve your name into my bones so even in death, I belong to you. Burn me alive if it keeps you warm and I will thank you for the privilege of being ash at your feet. Tear me apart, consume me whole, and I’ll thank with my last fucking breath for the honor of being destroyed by your hands.

if i learned one thing from my polls of everyone’s favorite minisodes it’s that the Resurrectionists is GREATLY underappreciated 😤 but maybe I just like watching Aziraphale go thru his moral dilemmas, it brings me great joy

Day Dress

Early 1860s

By the early 1860s the width of the skirt, supported by the crinoline frame, had reached its zenith. Such a surface area provided the perfect canvas for bold, decorative effects, and contemporary photographs, fashion plates and surviving garments show large designs of strongly-contrasting applied velvet or braid encompassing the skirt above the hem, echoed on a smaller-scale on the bodice. The maker of this unpretentious one-piece day dress has interpreted this fashion in a simple, but effective, manner. Black velvet ribbon has been stitched to the bodice to suggest a yoke, and diagonal strips of ribbon with pointed ends have been applied to the base of the skirt at intervals, and to the tops of the sleeves. The dress has been made by hand from a worsted wool fabric, possibly incorporating linen, which has a slightly harsh but practical character; it is woven with bands of simple black pattern which have been matched symmetrically on both bodice and skirt. In common with many one-piece dresses of this date a small watch pocket has been inset at the left front waist seam. The dress’s one concession to complexity is the construction of the sleeves which are pleated into a piped curved seam running down the front of each sleeve.
