Historical Spanish Fashion from Madrid's Museo del Traje

We don't get that many historical fashion exhibits here in DFW, but when we do I have to check them out. This one was "Canvas & Silk" and showcased historical Spanish fashions from the Museo del Traje in Madrid. You can find the exhibit catalog linked below!

Oh my word, the embroidery on that bullfighter's cape! *swoon*

I love the pocket on the first gown, though the years on it are only half right. It's more 1875 - 1878. The bodice is gorgeous. I love the way the maker was able to match the pattern on the back. Chef's kiss! And I noticed that the shoulder straps were not sewn exactly like a lot of the costume books and and patterns say they should be done. The fabric from the back comes up the shoulder a few inches, then comes the shoulder strap piece. Interesting. The wedding dress is beautiful and I love that the back is all one piece instead of the typical back of a Regency/Empire gown. And all the layers of lace is just.... wow. With the men's suit, I had to pause the video a few times. First to look at the neckline because I thought I saw what is known as a Slip Vest - an under vest under the waistcoat - and I did see one. I'm not sure why slip vests were a thing during this period, but men wore them. Second to really look at what I thought was embroidery but was, in fact, a painted or printed embellishment. I think it's actually painted because of all the detail in the flowers. And can we talk about the Bullfighter/Matador's suit? Oh My Gods! All that Goldwork embroidery is just awesome. I'm learning how to do goldwork. It's exacting and very fiddly to do. To think of all the hours of work that went into the suit and the cape just boggle the mind. The whole exhibit was breathtaking. So glad you could share it.
