Okay, I do agree with the idea that women dressmakers of history have largely been ignored, and fashion history needs to do better and recognizing them.
BUUUUUT
I also think it's really reductive to credit Worth's success purely on the glass elevator.
As talented a designer as he was, Worth's real genius was in marketing and branding. He was the first designer to have a clear and defined *aesthetic.*
The fact that you had to go to his couture house rather than him coming to the client created *mystique,* and it made buying dresses into a social event. Suddenly, it was something you could boost your reputation with by doing. He also had the brilliant idea of making less-expensive pieces that less wealthy women could afford, which played a huge role in why House of Worth was fucking EVERYWHERE.
The big thing that I really disagree with was the idea that customers buying Worth's designs rather than Worth designing for the client was purely an act of sexism. Worth selling dresses purely on his own design meant that he could go bigger and bolder, and much more innovative than your average society lady could think of.
It meant that he could bring *art* into fashion, and you can draw a direct line from Charles Fredrick Worth to Paul Poiret to Elsa Schiaparelli to Alexander McQueen. No acting-on-client's-orders dressmaker had ever done anything that bold before.

So, yes, while Worth's immense success is due in part to the glass elevator, he did bring actual revolutionary innovation to fashion. His place in fashion history is well-deserved.

A painting recently commissioned by the Scions of the 7th Dawn depicting their four Wol’s in a single painting. Dressed in custom garments and finery, what a beautiful family!
