18th Century Woman
I am a little pressed for time this week, and thus, I give you a homework assignment. The video below captivates me. The costumes displayed are important and beautiful, though some of the techniques being used are outdated. I think I know which Museum it is – Can anyone guess?

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. This was a fun way to start my morning!

Cool video, but ugh, that’s some pretty creepy sentiment about the difference between a man and a woman. My feathers have been ruffled!

Glad you all enjoyed that! Yes it is the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Costume Institute. And I think you can hear Diana Vreeland’s voice in the background at one point.
