Girl's Dress

1886-1888

United States

This dress belonged to Juliette Geneva Hollenback (1881-1917), the youngest daughter of prominent financier and philanthropist John Welles Hollenback (1834-1923). Although the dress appears to be a scaled-down version of an adult's dress, the skirt is attached to the bodice and the closures are uncomplicated, making it easier to dress a child. The fiery color and simple materials are a portent of the woman Juliette would become: an active leader in settlement work.

i mention all the time how in the early 2010s when i started seeing womens plus size clothes that were even remotely tolerable, it was all this 50s pinup kind of shit. and i can tolerate a small amount of that in my personal style, but i wanted some other options too, and that was hard to find. and i thought to myself "well things are just gonna keep opening up and eventually there will be more and more options" and of course that was wrong, because i think really what just happened is theres one Dominant Fat People Aesthetic and it just keeps changing.

in the mid 2010s the brands with extended sizes were like asos and fashionnova and boohoo, like ig baddie stuff. and same deal with that as with the pinup shit, i like a little of that, i def wore one of the more conservative fashionnova dresses to my cousin's bar mitzvah, but its not a whole wardrobe for me.

now what im seeing in the world of fat people style is like...big bud press/selkie kinda shit. like, "what if grown ups could wear toddler clothes too" big floofy dresses and skirts or baggy basic workwear in crayola colors (to be fair this is what gay people of many sizes are wearing), or maybe "goth but its very specifically goth cartoon characters" and again! that is fine, i have some big bud press pants and they're very comfortable but PLEASE can we have more than one aesthetic in the plus size fashion world at a time!! capitalism your free market wants me to wear overalls so so so bad and its just not for me.

popular culture used to be very much about eroticism. rockstars used to be on stage in sequins and thongs and thigh high boots playing guitars like they were masturbating. girls used to wear velvet mini dresses and no bras and red-brick-brown lipstick and mascara on their bottom lashes. people used to have body hair on television and in the movies. people used to be sweaty. people used to touch each other over denim and under cotton. foreplay used to be staring at someone over the rim of a glass across a bar across a park across a dinner table. people used to want. i think we’ve lost something
