While searching through my vintage French fashion plates I came across a nice selection that displayed shorter skirts and the showing of a ladies ankle. I discovered that for a period of time starting in 1778 and extending into the 1780's "showing a bit of ankle" was quite fashionable, especially in dresses of the "Polonaise" style. The Polonaise style involved the swagging or ruching back of the over-skirt using a variety of methods such as hidden tapes or loops to achieve the desired effect. This trend toward "shorter under-skirts" could also be found in other styles through the 1780's. c 1778 French Polonaise Style with shorter skirts and showing the ankle Pre-Revolutionary France was quite daring with their fashion trends. This post is all about the raising of the hem while my previous post Naughty French Fashions concentrated on the lowering of the bodice and extreme décolletage. Yes, you will see a combination of both extremes by looking at that prior post since several of the low bodice creations also sport the shorter hemline. Here is an assortment of ankle exposing fashions from 1778-1787 in the Polonaise Style Shorter skirt with a more "flounce" inspired look This one has more of a "robe a l'anglaise" style with the shorter underskirt Polonaise Style with a very low bodice Polonaise Style Shorter skirt with a bit of the "robe a la francaise" feel due to the draped back Polonaise Style Polonaise Style Polonaise Style Polonaise Style Polonaise Style possibly French Casaquin in style Polonaise Style Polonaise Style? possibly French Casaquin in style Polonaise Style with a "robe a l'anglaise" feel I love altering fashion plate colors digitally just because it's fun but at the same time if calls to mind that back when these fashions were created a lady did not usually have a dress made to look exactly as shown in a fashion plate. Instead she might alter any number of things to make a gown suit her or the occasion it would be worn. Colors and fabric choices were just one of many alterations that would be decided in making an ensemble to please that patron. It's fun to see how a dress changes as you alter just the colors alone and since I'm not fond of the original color pallet used I thought this would be a fun one to play around with. Here are the variations I came up with. (I can't decide between the first and the last one as to my favorite color combo) Next time I've got an interesting "leggy" fashion plate to share and a bit about stockings during this period of time. Thanks for joining me on my continuing journey into fashion plates from the time of Marie Antoinette. till next time...

In 2008, astronomers discovered a star relatively nearby Earth went kablooie some 28,000 light-years away from us.

The figure of Dante's Beatrice can be seen as a cultural phenomenon or myth during the nineteenth century, inspiring a wide variety of representations in literature and the visual arts. This study looks at the cultural afterlife of Beatrice in the Victorian period in remarkably different contexts. Focusing on literary representations and selected examples from the visual arts, this book examines works by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Christina Rossetti, George Eliot, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Walter Pater as well as by John Ruskin, Maria Rossetti and Arthur Henry Hallam. Julia Straub's analysis shows how the various representations of Beatrice in literature and in the visual arts reflect in meaningful ways some of the central social and aesthetic concerns of the Victorian period, most importantly its discourse on gender. This study offers fascinating insights into the Victorian reception of Dante by exploring the powerful appeal of his muse.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the smash bestseller Orphan Train, a stunning and atmospheric novel of friendship, passion, and art, inspired by Andrew Wyeth’s mysterious and iconic painting Christina’s World. ""Later he told me that he’d been afraid to show me the painting. He thought I wouldn’t like the way he portrayed me: dragging myself across the field, fingers clutching dirt, my legs twisted behind. The arid moonscape of wheatgrass and timothy. That dilapidated house in the distance, looming up like a secret that won’t stay hidden."" To Christina Olson, the entire world was her family’s remote farm in the small coastal town of Cushing, Maine. Born in the home her family had lived in for generations, and increasingly incapacitated by illness, Christina seemed destined for a small life. Instead, for more than twenty years, she was host and inspiration for the artist Andrew Wyeth, and became the subject of one of the best known American paintings of the twentieth century. As she did in her beloved smash bestseller Orphan Train, Christina Baker Kline interweaves fact and fiction in a powerful novel that illuminates a little-known part of America’s history. Bringing into focus the flesh-and-blood woman behind the portrait, she vividly imagines the life of a woman with a complicated relationship to her family and her past, and a special bond with one of our greatest modern artists. Told in evocative and lucid prose, A Piece of the World is a story about the burdens and blessings of family history, and how artist and muse can come together to forge a new and timeless legacy.
