charlestonmuseum:

Black chiffon evening dress with silver lace bodice, c. 1920. The dress has a fashionable low waist and a stunning long train. The asymmetrical neckline is ornamented with applied pearls; the skirt is slit up the side to the lace and is trimmed with silver metallic braid. It was worn by the donor’s mother, Ethel Sanford (1873-1924, Mrs. John Sanford), international socialite, or possibly by the donor. The one-shouldered styling and the long train are probably the work of one of the period’s top designers, however the dress is unlabeled.

the worst part about having a crush on someone is everything

(via sherlocks-apiary)

“The “art” of makeup is the art of disguise, but this presupposes that a woman’s face, unpainted is defective. … The strategy of much beauty-related advertising is to suggest to women that their bodies are deficient, but even thought such more or less explicit teaching, the media images of perfect female beauty which bombard us daily leave no doubt in the minds of most women that they fail to measure up. … In spite of unrelenting pressure to “make the most of what they have,” women are ridiculed and dismissed for the triviality of their interest in such “trivial” things as clothes and makeup.”
