Online Fashion References

Postby Greyhaunt » Sun Apr 28, 2013 4:04 pm

This thread is a place to post links to blogs, museums, or personal sites that can provide us with inspiration for our sewing projects. Why did I start this thread? Because of a blog I found the other day that is just too frigging awesome to not share!!!

http://thevintagethimble.tumblr.com/: The Vintage Thimble. OMG, what does this blog not have??? From an egyptian net beaded dress to designs by Schiarpelli, Worth and Fortuny this blog truly shows wonderful fashions from all eras. Also lots of pictures of ancient/antique jewelry to help inspire. I have spent hours looking through this blog and I'm still not finished!

If it hadn't been for the bookmarks snafu earlier this week I'd have a ridiculous amount to contribute here... instead I'll just try to dig up what I can. This will be long, I'm a reenactor with a thing for lolita.

http://dailyreenactor.tumblr.com/ Modern reenactors of all periods
http://fripperiesandfobs.tumblr.com/ Extant fashion of many periods, organized by tag. Gratuitous snark included.
http://oldrags.tumblr.com/ More extant fashion, organized by tag.
http://fuckyeahcorsets.tumblr.com/ Corsets of all kinds, male and female, extreme and not. Sometimes NSFW
http://fuckyeahvictorians.tumblr.com/ Victorian fashion, photos, and artwork
http://lolita-tips.tumblr.com/ General lolita FAQ type site, with lots of great lolita reblogs.
