I love the bright colors of the 1890s, did they invent the concept of a "pop of color"? Maaaaaaybe... . . #popofcolor #shockingpink #1890sstyle #1890s #lilyabsinthe #museumhat #labelleepoque #belleepoque #1900s #gibsongirlstyle #puffedsleeves #silkfaille #LAgirlintombstone (at The Dressmaker's Cottage at #11) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYM1eBBPdpb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Christmas Eve at the Bird Cage Theatre in my 1890s winter best. The City of Tombstone is at it's best in winter, perfect for holiday shopping...and dressing "in attire" is always en vogue in town, so bring a suit! . . #birdcagetheatre #Tombstone #oldwesttombstone #lilyabsinthelife #1890sstyle #museumhat #museumdeaccession #extantsources #lilyabsinthe #1890s #thebiggerthehattheclosertogod #thedressmakerscottage #thevictoriandressdesigner #victorianoldwest #LAgirlintombstone (at Bird Cage Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CX4HMQ_PSV0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Taking a twirl in the garden with my pink silk petticoat like it's 1899. . #1899 #pink #pinksilk #petticoat #1890sstyle #labelleepoque #belleepoque #gibsongirlstyle #antiquehat #lingerieblouse #blackskirt #black #wool #laceinsertion #patternmatching #lilyabsinthe #folkweargibsongirlblouse #folkwear #sheer #violet #velvethat #antiqueribbon https://www.instagram.com/p/CY434WuP7VH/?utm_medium=tumblr

I love the late 1890s fashion of pairing a shockingly bright colored bodice with a contrast skirt...and when I saw this "Juneberry" ribbed silk from Silk Baron...I was hooked! . #pink #pinksilk #antiquelace #1890sfashion #1890sstyle #pinkandblack #museumhat #bighairtallhat #bighair #lilyabsinthe #statementcolor #Victorian #labelleepoque #belleepoque #blackskirt #antiqueribbon (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/lilyabsinthe/p/CY3UMilrx7D/?utm_medium=tumblr

I finally got to make something for myself and use things I've been saving for way too long...I'm hoping to get some use of this cape before Spring arrives! . . #1890sstyle #1890sfashion #cape #extanttrim #antiquechenille #antiquelace #feathertrim #antiquehat #wool #silk #damask #outdoors #bighair #Victorian #victorianfashion #belleepoque #labelleepoque #ponderosacape (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY3RF59LGkd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Proof that I cut it really close! Extant textiles are a savage gamble to use....no mistakes allowed. Photo shoot tomorrow, I've been hand finishing this for twelve hours straight. . #extant #antiquetextile #blackandwhite #1890sstyle #1890sfashion #cuttingitclose #nogoingback #firstcutisthehardest #repurposing #lilyabsinthe #belleepoque #whew #exhale https://www.instagram.com/p/CYszk4ZL2z2/?utm_medium=tumblr
