• Dress.

Date: ca. 1868

Medium: Watered silk faille, soutache cording, metal.

~ From the source: Margaretta Sophia Howard Ridgely (1824–1904) likely purchased this royal blue, silk moiré visiting dress during her travels through England and France in 1870. Black soutache cording embellishes the dress, which closes in the front with metal hooks and eyes and black thread-covered wooden buttons. Ridgely's husband, Charles Ridgely (1838–1872), did not survive the trip and passed away in 1872, upon which Margaretta entered mourning, wearing only blacks, greys, and later dull purples. This dress, so eye-catching and vibrant, would have been inappropriate to wear in mourning and was packed away, never to be worn again.

i just want to remind everyone that, since the grishaverse is kinda sorta based on the victorian era, and since wealthy victorian families dressed their toddlers (girls or boys) in dresses, and wylan was very wealthy growing up, there are definitely family portraits in existence of baby wylan wearing one of those goofy ass victorian baby dresses
