nude slip dresses are OUT for fall 2021… the mantua is IN!
i want to look like an absolute wedding cake when i step outside (if i can fit through my front doorway, that is)!
i want to be PILED with lace and embroidery!
who cares about a ‘bikini body’… if my butt isn’t the shape of a massive rectangle, i don’t want it!
who needs pockets when you can fit, like, 3 people, 2 dogs, a pony, and your immense ego (due to looking so fabulous, ofc) under your skirt?
forget the kardashians, i’m taking my fashion inspo from marie antoinette now!
in conclusion: the mantua was a GREAT look and i have NO idea why we as a society ever let it fall out of favor. ok, ok, it might have had something to do with the massive skirts restricting mobility & catching on fire easily, but still. bring back mantuas 2k21!

after eight years, I finally updated my huge Historical Fashion Reference & Resources Doc! Now in the form of a MUCH more easily updated Google Doc with better organization, refreshed links, and five more pages of books and online resources.
I know tumblr hates links, but it’s worth it for a doc that I can now update with far more regularity going forward! RIP to the original, you did your duty for far longer than you should have. 😔🙏🏼
