Chesterman was in the Fashion Industry and designed the wire in crinoline hoop skirts that held the shape of the dress by loops sewn into the hem. After many versions of the tape measure, Fellows added the click to the final version and filed the patent.
The romper was founded in the early 1900s and began as playwear for young children because of it's freedom of movement. Rompers varied in materials and styles but held true as the first modern casual clothing for children (mostly babies).
Who doesn't love a fun animal print? Cheetah looks great on shoes, belts, scarves, and just about anything. The best part is the variations and colors you will find on just about every accessory.
It never gets old! Which is your favorite, Leopard, zebra, tiger, or cheetah? Animal prints are often confused with one another because they are so similar in families but are very different cats. Meow! I found a fascinating book on Cheetahs and it inspired me to share the history with you.
Since ancient history, cheetahs have been admired the most amongst wild cats. This is due to their tremendous speed and beautiful coats. I have wondered how this distinct pattern came about and why it is almost always known as a fashion print.
Happy Halloween my fellow style historians! I thought this would be the perfect time to share the story of the witches hat. Have you wondered where the witches hat originated from?
I think the most intriuging fact is that this hat was born from folklore. There are stories about witches keeping organs inside of their hats and using for magical spells. Old Stories claim witches were only meant for evil and the hat was used to intensify their scary appearance. Good thing it's all fiction.
