As celebrities graced the scene, their outfits seemed to be telling stories of their own, much like a silent film where the attire speaks louder than…

Grace Kelly*: From Style Icon To Royal Bride

Okay so actually there are two books about Grace Kelly’s wardrobe and impact on fashion, both written by the same person: H. Kristina Haugland. One is called Grace Kelly Style, written for the Victoria and Albert Museum’s 2010 exhibit “Grace Kelly: Style Icon”. It’s focused on her fashion evolution based on her life stages.

The second book, Grace Kelly: Icon of Style to Royal Bride, provides insight to the titular wedding outfit, starting with the background and lead-up, then going in-depth into the construction and transport. There’s even a diagram of how the dress was made at the back.

So, the reason I read both books is because I could not figure out what “rose point” lace** meant. I rarely to never see that referenced in lace books, and I double checked the indices of several books I own to make sure. I thought it was a familiar term I might have heard elsewhere in that (and don’t get upset at me here) the UK and US often just… make up new names for things…? Things that already had names? So I was chasing down this term in 20th century US sources and it made no sense. Some sources said it’s Italian and some sources said Belgian. I’m pretty certain everyone was just a tad confused.

And that extended to Grace Kelly’s wedding dress. Everyone agreed the lace was needlemade, most that the MGM dressmakers had reembroidered it***, and several sources repeated it was a hundred and twenty five years old when she wore it and basically I needed a professional.

Luckily!!! Someone cited this book!

And Haugland acknowledges it’s confusing!!!

So, “rose point lace” is actually an American name for point de gaze, a lace I am intimately familiar with.

She also calls out MGM for saying the lace was 125 years old. Point de gaze didn’t debut commercially until the mid-1800s, and that includes the 3D elements and the famous rose patterns (I have read documents related to this but I don’t want to dig them out because it’s really mundane “the queen of such-and-such, so-and-so is coming to support us” letters—they really wanted to impress).

And I’m pretty sure I know where the initial confusion because of a book Haugland herself cites. Unfortunately, it doesn’t solve my confusion. So.

In Icon of Style to Royal Bride, Haugland quotes Marian Powys’s Lace and Lace-Making****. I, of course, immediately read that too. It is the lace book of the mid-20th century. In it, she writes on rose point lace (point de gaze to me) and then… point de venise a rose, which I have seen shortened as ‘point de rose’ (and had not the faintest clue what they could possibly be talking about). Obviously, confusing, and probably why some sources reported the lace as Italian.

But this does not answer my question! Because Powys also describes both Belgium and Italy as copying the popular old point de gaze patterns and selling them. And given MGM likely sourced the lace through dealers while knowing very little about handmade lace, who knows.

However.

However, in Style Icon to Royal Bride, an anecdote given about Grace Kelly’s shoes (decorated with the same lace [sort of]) does lead me to believe the lace was likely antique—or at least, old.

So, after reading three (3) books(!!!), I have to satisfy myself that the lace was probably(?) Belgian and probably(?) antique. But I do know more about the history of garment conservation and exhibition now, so that’s pretty cool regardless. I also really liked the insights into the design process, the timeline, and the construction of the dress.

Would definitely recommend if you like knowing semi-obscure trivia, Hollywood celebrities, have ever wanted to copy Grace Kelly’s wedding dress, fancy dresses or falling down rabbit holes.

Here’s one of the glossy photos from inside the book

P.S. I looked into this to try and find out if there really was priceless lace floating around Old Hollywood. It definitely needs more research but initial conclusions are ‘not likely.’ The reason Grace Kelly was gifted such an over-the-top sensational dress is she was becoming a princess while still under contract with MGM—imagine the publicity if they could convince a royal to come back to movie making. It definitely did pop up occasionally but it seems like it was more an East Coast socialite thing—for example, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier wore her grandmother’s antique point de gaze veil (sometimes provenance is certainty) in her wedding to future President Kennedy.

Footnotes:

*Grace Kelly was a movie star and then married the Prince of Monaco (the sovereign ruler, because principalities are weird).

**needle lace is an entirely handmade fabric that involves stitching buttonholes into patterns. It’s also called point lace, needlepoint lace, etc—primarily to separate it from bobbin lace, which similarly is a completely handmade fabric woven via braiding, and other types of knotted needle laces, which are generally significantly more hardy.

The desirability of needle lace is usually its delicate, gauzy appearance.

***while needlerun lace (hand embroidery over machinemade lace to make it look closer to handmade) was fairly common at the time, being able to convincingly embroider or make needle lace was almost as big a deal in the 20th century as it is now. Especially by a major movie studio like MGM. What the embroiderers did, according to the book, is disassemble the lace, fit it to the patterns, and sew it on another fabric backing—where it was reassembled to cover the seams. Which is much, much easier than the reports (if anyone asks I will explain why).

****Powys’s 1953 book on the subject of lace defined many terms I see used in literature about lace that I never see lacemakers themselves use. And her glossary is in the front!!! And she gives her process to making needle lace in the back!!! I include this because there’s a general misconception that books on lace (needle lace especially) only exist up to 1905 or so, with a smattering published in the 1980s. However, I’ve tracked down needle lace books from the late 19th century to the present. You need to know what you’re looking for.

Additionally, reading Powys is when I realized Grace Kelly’s civil ceremony dress was “needlerun”—I was having a hard time squaring it with methods of manufacturing.

EDIT: please ask me any questions for anything I missed, I wasn’t expecting the original post to break double digits and it kind of threw me for a loop (I will make sure to have a draft for the next time that happens) and then I had issues with Tumblr

Two Stud Redemption - Poob Info

Some of these are subject to change, either by adding new ones, rewording ones as I get better ideas, or removing some entirely.

Poob:

Age - 24

Birthday - February 29th, 2000

Gender - Nonbinary

Pronouns - They/Them

Species - Partygoer

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to being born on a leap day, they never get to celebrate their real birthday, having it occur either on February 28th or March 1st instead. However, they adopted the idea their birthday is "everyday," which is where they got their nickname, Poob.

They are NOT 6 years old, do not be a funny guy!

Born AMAB, transitioned as nonbinary in their mid-teens.

They are demiromantic asexual. They wouldn't mind a romantic relationship, but they're too busying partying to actually engage in it.

Their wardrobe consists of mostly their main outfit duplicated 30 times due to those silly shirt and pant stealers! However, the occasional seasonal outfit is there too.

The younger adoptive sibling of Pest. Poob adopted him when they were a child, thinking the (at the time) beetle larvae was cute. No one was aware Pest ended up being a hybrid.

They REALLY like pretzels. They don't really know why.

They went to Two Stud Camp when they were 8 and vaguely recalls seeing a blue Gnarpian deep in the forest.

Their voice sounds like Spongebob.

Poob is actually a partygoer that evolved to become a much more docile (albeit slightly unsettling at times) than their wild counterparts. This docile behavior is likely a result of the Level 11 Effect. Any similarities to a typical noob is the result of convergent evolution and many mistake them as such.

Poob originally came from the backrooms as well and escaped when the elevator came one day. It's implied that they know Clover.

The History of Corsets: From Function to Fashion

The History of Corsets: From Function to Fashion

Introduction

Corsets have a rich and intriguing history that spans centuries. From their humble beginnings as functional undergarments to their transformation into fashionable accessories, corsets have played a significant role in shaping women's fashion and societal norms. In this article, we will delve into the fascinating journey of corsets, exploring their origins, evolution, and the impact they have had on women's lives throughout history.

The Birth of Corsets:

 The concept of corsets can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where women used various forms of supportive garments to shape their bodies. However, it was during the Renaissance period in Europe that the corset, as we know it today, began to take shape. Initially, corsets were designed to flatten the chest and create a conical shape, emphasizing the waistline.

The Era of Tight-Lacing: 

During the 16th and 17th centuries, corsets became a symbol of social status and were worn by women of all classes. The desire for an exaggerated hourglass figure led to the practice of tight-lacing, where corsets were laced tightly to achieve a smaller waistline. This extreme fashion trend, while fashionable, often caused health issues for women, including difficulty breathing and organ displacement.

The Rise of the Victorian Corset:

 The 19th century witnessed the emergence of the Victorian corset, which further emphasized the hourglass figure. Victorian corsets were heavily boned and tightly laced, often to the point of discomfort. They were an integral part of a woman's wardrobe and were considered essential for maintaining proper posture and femininity.

The Corset Reform Movement:

 By the late 19th century, the negative health consequences of corsets became increasingly evident, sparking the corset reform movement. Advocates for reform, such as Dr. Gustav Jaeger and Amelia Bloomer, promoted more flexible and less restrictive alternatives to traditional corsets. This movement laid the foundation for the eventual decline of the corset's popularity.

The Roaring Twenties and the Rise of the Flapper:

 The 1920s marked a significant shift in fashion and societal attitudes. The corset was gradually replaced by looser, more comfortable undergarments, reflecting the newfound freedom and liberation of women. The emergence of the flapper style, characterized by dropped waistlines and straight silhouettes, signaled a departure from the restrictive corsets of the past.

The Corset in Modern Fashion: 

While corsets lost their popularity as everyday undergarments, they found a new lease on life in the world of fashion. In the latter half of the 20th century, corsets were reintroduced as outerwear, becoming a symbol of sensuality and glamor. Designers like Jean Paul Gaultier and Vivienne Westwood incorporated corsetry into their collections, reimagining it as a fashion statement rather than a constraining undergarment.

Corsets in Contemporary Culture: 

In recent years, corsets have experienced a resurgence in popular culture, fueled in part by the influence of social media and celebrities. They have become a staple in alternative fashion, cosplay, and burlesque scenes. The modern corset often combines elements of traditional construction with contemporary materials, allowing for a balance between style and comfort.

The Empowerment of Choice: 

Today, the corset is seen as a personal choice rather than a societal expectation. Many women embrace corsets as a form of self-expression, celebrating their bodies and reclaiming historical fashion. Corsets are available in a wide range of styles, from classic designs to more modern interpretations, catering to diverse preferences and body types.

Conclusion: 

The history of corsets is a testament to the ever-changing nature of fashion and societal ideals. From their functional origins to their transformation into a fashion statement, corsets have left an indelible mark on women's fashion and body image throughout history. While their popularity has waxed and waned, corsets continue to captivate our imagination and serve as a symbol of both tradition and empowerment. Whether worn for fashion, cosplay, or personal expression, corsets remain an enduring and iconic piece of attire, reminding us of the remarkable journey they have undertaken over the centuries.

A Brief History of Fishnet:

Over time, fishnet stockings gained popularity in burlesque performances and Hollywood films, further cementing their association with glamour and allure.

Transition to Lingerie:

The evolution of fishnet from a functional material to a symbol of seduction was a natural progression. Lingerie designers recognized the provocative nature of the pattern, and fishnet lingerie was born.

Whether it's a classic pair of fishnet stockings, a daring bodysuit, or a subtle bralette, there's a wide range of styles to suit every taste. The openness of the fishnet pattern allows for creative designs, incorporating intricate details, lace embellishments, and strategic cutouts that accentuate and flatter the body.

Confidence and Body Positivity:

Fishnet lingerie embraces all body types, promoting a message of body positivity and self-love. The stretchy and forgiving nature of the material adapts to different shapes, ensuring wearers feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. The choice to wear fishnet lingerie is a celebration of individuality and a rejection of narrow beauty standards.

This versatility further highlights the timeless appeal of fishnet lingerie.

Fishnet lingerie, with its historical roots in allure and its modern embrace of body positivity, has become a staple in the world of intimate apparel.

The Evolution of the Jordan 1 Low: From Court to Street

The Jordan 1 Low has come a long way since its debut in 1985. Originally designed as a low-top alternative to the Air Jordan 1, the sneaker has undergone various transformations, evolving from a performance basketball shoe to a coveted fashion statement on the streets.

The roots of the Jordan 1 Low trace back to the basketball court. The high-top Air Jordan 1, released in 1985, was a groundbreaking silhouette that revolutionized basketball footwear. Recognizing the demand for a more casual and accessible version, Nike introduced the low-top iteration, retaining the iconic design elements that made the original a sensation.

As the years passed, the Jordan 1 Low began to transcend its basketball origins, finding a new home in the emerging world of streetwear.

While maintaining its basketball heritage, the sneaker seamlessly integrated into the urban fashion landscape. Its versatility allowed wearers to pair it with a range of outfits, from casual streetwear to more formal ensembles, cementing its status as a wardrobe essential.

Collaborations with high-profile names and brands further propelled the Jordan 1 Low into the forefront of fashion. Limited releases with renowned designers and cultural icons created a sense of exclusivity and desirability, driving sneaker enthusiasts to camp out in front of stores or engage in online frenzies to secure a pair.

The success of the Jordan 1 Low also lies in Nike's ability to blend nostalgia with innovation. While the silhouette pays homage to the original design, technological advancements in materials and construction ensure that the sneaker meets the demands of contemporary consumers. This delicate balance between heritage and modernity has contributed to the enduring popularity of the Jordan 1 Low.

In conclusion, the Jordan 1 Low has undergone a remarkable evolution, transitioning from a basketball shoe to a cultural phenomenon. Its journey from the court to the streets is a testament to the enduring appeal of well-crafted design and the ability of a sneaker to transcend its intended purpose, becoming a symbol of style, self-expression, and cultural significance.
