My daughter Kitty modeling a child’s Spitalfields silk bodice c.1770–1780. The silk shows the floral sprig motifs and colour palette typical of late 18th century Spitalfields weaving, produced in London at the height of the English silk industry. Kitty perfectly captures that distinctly 18th-century whistless stare so often seen in contemporary portraiture solemn, composed, and faintly judgemental 😆 The cut suggests this bodice was almost certainly re-made from a lady’s dress, a common and prac

Can pride in a nation stand apart from discomfort over its history? For this interviewee, the legacy of colonialism makes pride in being British feel impossible. It raises questions about how we reconcile admiration for a nation’s present with unease about its past: Is it possible to acknowledge and critique historical legacies without rejecting national identity altogether? Or does a nation’s past define its present too deeply to separate the two? What do you think? Can pride and discomfort coe

In 1840 Queen Victoria changed wedding fashion when she married Prince Albert. Instead of a lavish gown of silver or gold, she wore a cream-colored silk satin dress decorated with intricate handmade Honiton lace. Crafted from English Spitalfields silk to support local industries, her dress embodied understated elegance. Contemporary accounts noted her pure white attire as befitting a bride, and soon illustrations of the dress spread across Western newspapers. The white wedding dress became a las

In Spitalfields you can visit an extraordinary 18th century house. It is part time capsule, part one man’s unique vision of the past… Dennis Severs’ House was constructed in 1724 but in 1979 was lovingly and meticulously restored by a man called Dennis Severs. There is a link in my bio if you would like to read my full blog post on this most unusual of historic houses. You can also find more over at @dennissevershouse. #london #londonhistory #livinglondonhistory #londontravel #hiddenlondon #secr

This is the most popular silk design of the 1700s: simple white background with pink flowers. One expert went through silk records from Lyon and Spitalfields and found that some version of this design was produced in every decade of the century, no matter what the dominant style trend was. People could get enough of it. Dress is a white brochure as e with stripes and bunches of flowers. It is not quite as nice as the spitalfields brocade that colonial Williamsburg has in their collection, so I’m

Rosie Harte on Instagram: "I was walking through the V&A the other day and came across this brilliant 18th century portrait. Though the identity of the sitter is a mystery, the portrait is thought to have been commissioned to commemorate a wedding. The woman is dressed in an expensive Spitalfields silk gown over the hoop panniers that were popular in the middle of the 18th century. It immediately reminded me of this 18th century gown that was displayed as part of the Style & Society exhibition a
