Hello all, Today I am continuing with my series on Zakarpattia. Again, I encourage you to follow along in Google maps as I mention locations. These two zones lie in the middle of the map above. They share the same unusual cut of the chemise, and indeed are distinguished most by their embroidery. 6 Irshava zone This lies south of the Volovets' zone, from Mukachevo east to the ridge between the Borzhava and the Rika rivers. It includes the Borzhava and possibly the Latoritsa river valleys, except for the uppermost reaches. This and the next zone are often considered to be the 'typical' Transcarpathian costume. This is the fifth type of Ukrainian costume, the single apron type. An apron is worn directly over the chemise, and there is no skirt. The front of the chemise is gathered at the neck, there is a small area of embroidery or applique there, and the opening is in the back. The sleeve pieces are cut full length, up to the collar. This type of chemise is called Dowhana. Here is a couple in summer attire from the village of Dovhe. The man's outfit is unusual for Ukraine, but is similar to that of other parts of the Pannonian plain, in Slovakia, northwest Romania, Hungary, and eastern Croatia. Here is a woman from near Irshava. This photo was sent in by one of my readers, Jenna Herskovic. She says that this is her grandmother from the village of Pryborzhavske. Here is a woman from the village of Kerets'ky, Notice that she is wearing a very large apron, which seems to be more typical of the Khust zone. This chemise is from the village of Bereznyky. Here is an old photo of a group of girls in this costume. The type and arrangement of the embroidery is unique to this area. The front has an inset of fancy woven cloth, with red woven ornament at the neck, and generally a zigzag twill pattern in the white part, which, as you can see, is often whiter than the plain linen used in the rest of the garment. The opening, as i mentioned, is in the back. The sleeves are full length and gathered into the collarband. There is a band of embroidery across the sleeve at about shoulder height, which has a diamond of embroidery just below it in the center of the sleeve. It may have a narrow vertical line of embroidery above this band. There is a seam at the back of the sleeve, which is joined with ornamental needlework. Just to the outside of this seam is a chain of diamonds forming a line down the rear of the sleeve. This image is from the book 'Ukrajins'ka Vyshywka', by Tetiana Kara-Vasyljevych, who, unusually, mistakenly assigns it to Rivne Oblast. You can see that the embroidery is mostly flat stitching, with some cross stitch on the collar nd cuffs. The cuffs are narrow bands, and the sleeves are gathered into them. Moccasins, postoly, were commonly worn here, as in most of Zakarpattia. Those who could afford boots wore them for special occasions. This pair is from the village of Dovhe. Short, highly embroidered sheepskin vests were worn here as well. This one is from the village of Kerets'ky. Here are a few more images of this costume. I am not sure that the vest in this image is correct. I believe that it comes from a region further east, namely the Teresva river valley. And here are some images from a fashion show which depicted this and other Transcarpathian costumes. 7 Khust zone This consists of the region between Khust and Bustyno, north of the Tisa river, and includes the lower and mid Rika river valley and the Tereblya river valley up to the northern border of Transcarpathia. The people in the northern part of this region are Boiko, but the costume is substantially the same.. Here is the cut of the chemise from this region. The dress chemise is exceptionally full. This particular one is from the village of Danylove, in the southern part. As in the Irshava region, the opening is in back, but here there is embroidery done over the smocking in front. The apron, plat, especially for dress occasions, is extremely full and wraps most of the way around the body. The waistband is wide and has strings on the ends which wrap around the body more than once. No skirt is worn. Here is a photo of a girl from Danylove. You can see the decorative stitching done on the waistband. The cuff is generally ruffled, with a gathered portion slightly above. The embroidery above is done in bargello or brick stitch. The composition and techniques of the embroidery used in this zone is remarkable for its variety. One common arrangement is a large rectangle, as seen here. The following is also from Danylove. This is done mostly in a single color with a heavy wool yarn, the so called curly stitch. Here are some embroidery examples from the northern part, namely the village of Synevyr, which is in the Boiko area. They also use the rectangle as a form for the embroidery. They use Nyzynka embroidery in one color, seen both above here and below, from the front and the back. Another arrangement is two horizontal bands joined by a vertical band in the center of the sleeve. These three are also from Synevyr. Some use darning stitch, nyz, and some use cross stitch. The embroidery may also be very colorful, as in this next example from Synevyr, seen from the rear. An additional example of embroidery arrangement is having two horizontal bands with no connection, as in this example from Sokyrnytsia. And the final example is a large diamond in the center of the sleeve. This tends to be more common further north, especially closer to Mizhhiria. Here is another example, also from Sokyrnytsia. And two more examples from Sokyrnytsia. It seems that these different compositions coexisted within the same village. Some chemises show somewhat of a hybridization of the horizontal band and the diamond, as in this example. The above example includes cutwork, as does this similar example, which also includes cross stitch and stem stitch. Some examples can be very colorful. Here is a woman from an unspecified location wearing her everyday shirt with a simple diamond while embroidering a sleeve for a dress shirt that has more extensive embroidery. The hair dressing and headpieces can be very complex. Here are some examples from the village of Iza. Two brides. [note that in eastern Europe, one is a 'bride' for up to a few years]. The open topped crown, parta, has a part which sticks up on one side, and is decorated with ribbons, feathers, artificial flowers, blown glass balls, and other items. Note also the bodice with little 'epaulettes'. Here is a married woman from Iza in her dress outfit. Her vest is of embroidered sheepskin. A young mother from Iza. A colorful chemise from Iza. Young girls from Kosheliovo. A beautiful chemise from Bushtyno. A simpler outfit from Dubove. A chemise from Dulovo. An example from Horinchovo, showing the three dimensional curly stitch. Two girls from Nyzhnje Selyshche. A man from Zolotareve, wearing the jacket called uyosh. A woman with an embroidered sheepskin vest from Steblivka, along with an everyday photo. Two girls with fancy hair and parta from Vonyhove. Note the 'prairie points' on the vest. Here is a girl from Lypets'ka Polyana. A series of pictures from the village of Kolochava, in the north. This would be in the Boiko zone. A couple of girls wearing parta. Note the decorative seam in the center of the aprons. A couple of married women. The hemline varies with the decade. Here are just a few shots from a wedding somewhere near Synevyr in the 1930's. These are taken from the historical video at the end of the article. The Starosta and Starostynia are leading the procession. She is wearing the shaggy jacket for which Zakarpattia is famous. This would be the bride. Note the headdress. Her embroidery is in a rectangle. This would be the maid of honor, note that her embroidery is in a diamond. The bride and other young women wear vests and aprons of colorful flower print material. An older married woman wears a vest and apron of solid dark colored cloth which is not as full. A video from Zakarpattia made in the 1930's, narrated in Czech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAgJm55x06o A 'fashion show' of some of the folk costumes of Zakarpattia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuqA5aj4KrE Thank you for reading, I hope that you have found this to be interesting and informative.

“Beautiful Ginevra” Dress Natural flocked velvet renaissance gown Early Renaissance epoch is one of the most marvelous and amazing history periods. The beginning of the art and cultural prime influenced impressively the fashion of the period. This costume of the early Renaissance combine naivete and elegance of the silhouette with the complexity and richness of trimming and details. The original dress typical for the second half of the XVth century was known as "gamurra" and referred to the so called Florentine fashion period. Dress was usually worn over corset and chemise, which are not included but are available in our store. The dress is made of natural cotton velvet (one of the limited fabric versions has flocked design), the skirt has 8 or 10 gussets depending on the customer's size. The dress requires 13-16 yards of fabric and the length of the skirt hem exceeds 11 yards. It is decorated with trim with pomegranate ornament exclusively designed by ArmStreet and manufactured for this project. Bodice and sleeves are embroidered with the artificial pearls and silvery lacet. Sleeves are attached to the dress with the help of three velvet laces and can be fastened with buttons on the wrists. Bodice of the dress has cut-outs where chemise can be seen. The dress is laced at the front. Bodice and sleeves have viscose lining. This dress requires rather precise fit so please be careful while taking your measurements. Dress can be worn with or without corset though corset will definitely increase authenticity and emphasis of the outline. However you should be ready to pay for the beauty and historical authority with the necessity to keep a moral backbone continuously. To check how to measure yourself please click here. Please contact us if you have any additional questions.

Since the opening of Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail, 1700–1915, the Costume and Textiles Department has received many requests to share how we created the paper wigs seen on the exhibition mannequins. The process of hand-crafting the wigs began nine months before the opening of the show as the curators were finalizing their exhibition checklist of fashionable dress and deciding on display methods.

By Lisa Marie Wilkinson The 1890-1914 period referred to as La Belle Époque (French for “Beautiful Era”) was a time of peace and national pride buoyed by scientific and technological discovery. This fashion era overlapped the Edwardian fashion era in Britain and is nostalgically viewed as a golden age in contrast to the stark world introduced by World War I. In France, those of wealth and privilege enjoyed the perks only the rich could afford, frequenting new entertainments such as the Folies Bergere, the Moulin Rouge and flocking to view the new Eiffel Tower, which was constructed as a grand entrance to the 1889 World’s Fair. While men’s fashion did not undergo significant change during this period, women’s fashion saw the gradual disappearance of the bustle, replaced by a new, slimmer silhouette featuring enormous leg of mutton sleeves and tapered waists framed by sashes or belts flowing into trumpet-bell shaped skirts. This slender profile was offset by huge, ostentatious hats named “Merry Widows” after the popular operetta of the time. These accessories featured feathers and lavish trims (including stuffed hummingbirds for those who could afford them). The descriptive term that easily captures this fashion era is the “pouter pigeon,” a corseted look with the bust suppressed into a “monobosom.” Fashion accents included gloves made of silk, suede or kid leather that were worn outdoors in summer and winter and featured frilly parasols dripping lace. In Britain, the renowned tailoring houses of Redfern and Creed applied their skills to tailored fashions for women, creating ready to wear wool or serge suits paired with shirtwaist blouses and simple gored skirts and matching jackets promoted as ideal for traveling. This tailored look was embraced by middle class women entering the workforce, and was often criticized as masculine in appearance as women began to sport neckware rivaling that of their male counterparts. The severity of the tailored suit was relieved by feminine touches such as ornate blouses embellished by embroidery, ruffled jabots decorated by stick pins, and collars reaching under the chin that were held in place by silk-wrapped wires to create the impression of an elongated neck. The high-necked collar mandated for day wear was replaced by low sweetheart, round, or square necklines for evening fashions designed to showcase the owner’s jewelry. A lady dressed for an evening’s entertainment outside the home was not encumbered by what do to with her handbag. Little or no money was carried because purchases were charged to accounts and so little makeup was worn that only a dainty bag attached by a wrist strap was needed to complete her ensemble. Gibson Girl by Charles Dana Gibson In America, the pen and ink drawings of an artist named Charles Dana Gibson intended to spoof the modern woman (now known as the “Gibson Girl,”) eventually came to represent the first national American standard of beauty. Lisa Marie Wilkinson is an IPPY Gold Medal winning author of historical adventure-romance. Her latest novel, STOLEN PROMISE, featuring vibrant Gypsy characters and breath-taking romance, is available now.
There is a small collection of Opera or Theater Costumes from the time of Marie Antoinette that I simply adore. I have nicknamed this interesting collection of fashion plates "Drama Queens" just for the fun of it. (I liked several these ladies so much that I've created my own altered versions of them; and will be posting some fun artwork using them in upcoming posts.) Late 18th Century Opera or Theatrical Costume (French) Not all the costumes are of women, there are some male entertainers as well; however the costumes are a bit bizarre - which makes them all the more fascinating. These French "Theatrical" Costumes are from the late 1770's. Just the perfect time period for all you Marie Antoinette fans. I hope you enjoy seeing them! *********** A bit about "Galerie des Modes et Costumes Francais" In the late 1700's two print sellers in Paris decided to sell fashion plates of current fashions and costumes of the time. They dubbed this plate series "Galerie des Modes et Costumes Francais" and started selling these plates sporadically from 1778 till 1787. Over the years there have been several book published containing variations of these designs. Some are black and white only versions of the fashions, others are less crisp colorized versions and then there is my favorite the 1912 version by M. Paul Cornu. In 1912 many of them were re-worked and sold as a 4 "folio" set. The images I'm displaying above are from the more modern 1912 version; however I did want you to see an example of an older print from the late 1700's for comparison. A much older version "original" version of this fashion plate I think you will agree that while this older print has a lot of charm; the 1912 versions are a more entertaining way to view these designs. I hope you have enjoyed seeing these fantastical costumes from the late 1700's. Till the next time...
