You probably won’t be buying anything, but Christie’s is having an auction on Dec. 3, 2009 called Fashion Through the Ages, and the online listings have a lot of lovely, zoomable photos. I think I’m liking the macaroni jacket best, although this caraco is appealing to the butter churner in me…

I will slap you with these gloves if I ever catch you churning butter.
Butter churning! It’s all the rage!
You’re dead to me.
aieeeeeeeee!!! I’m sorry! I promise to bedazzle all of my costumes!!!
With satin butt-bows on top?
I’m gonna say… The 18th c. knew how to make butter churning outfits look fabulous. But yeah, I’m with Trystan on this: BUTTER CHURN AND I WILL CUT YOU.
Oh! And I think Trystan NEEDS this gown. Hee!
LURVE the macaroni jacket, and the skirt is fabulous, too, and since I was lurking on the Designer’s Guild website today I’m just going to point out these fabrics and then run away:
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C
Wow, a Regency vampire gown! That rules.
We so need to stamp out the butter-churning in this world. Sure, I love butter, but they gotta churn it outta my sight.
Maybe we should start the Ladies Anti-Butter Churning and Bedazzling Society (LABCBS)?
Excellent, & LABCBS should have its first mtg soon 😀
