What Is The Portraiture Project?

Hello! My name is Ella and I love historical clothing.

Combining my love of blogging, sewing, and, historic fashion, I created the Portraiture Project which focuses on faithfully recreating clothing from paintings (no polyester here!) I hope you enjoy following me on my journey and learn something new along the way. I post updates sporadically that include everything from research and photographs to ideas and progress. This project has no timeline and deadline, just a world of ideas, a camera and computer to blog about it.

The full name of the book is quite a mouthful: The Toilet of Flora; Or, A Collection of the Most Simple and Approved Methods of Preparing Baths, Essences, Pomatums, Etc: Improved from the French. Now, I will not bore you with more details! I have linked the free Google e-book to the image below! Enjoy! Comment any recipes or interesting information you discovered:

Via PBS' Wolf Hall  Today in 1533, Anne Boylen was crowned Queen of England. Of course, because I am way too obsessed interested in historic fashion, today's post is all about it!

A fter her followed ten ladies in robes of scarlet trimmed with ermine and round coronets of gold on their heads; and next after them all the queen’s maids in gowns of scarlet edged with white Baltic fur."

Godey's Lady Book Online!

Image
As I was researching 1860s fashion I came across an online archive of Godey's Lady Books and it made my day! It is absolutely wonderful to scroll the editions of the magazine and make observations though the fashion plates. I also love thinking about the recipes and which ones I would make if I was hosting a tea party. Anyway, enough jibber jabber I know you just want to go visit the archives I have been talking about and here it is:   Godey's Lady Book Archive Some of my favorites include:  this one from 1863  and  this one from 1880 And, if you're like me and you don't read the text they have  this  which only shows the fashion plates from one specific edition instead of the text and the plates. I mean, the hairdos, fashion and, embrdoiery patterns are soooooo much more exciting. Enjoy and keep sewing!:)
