  • Sarong Tie-Dye
    Sarong Tie-Dye Materials and Technique: 2 yards very fine muslin, about 59 inches wide Clear rubber bands Brown dye (instructions below) Pink dye (instructions below) A-clamp 1. Hem the raw cut edges of the muslin, and fold into quarters. Press flat. Pleat or "accordion" the fabric so your folds run from the folded end to the hemmed end. The pleats should be about 2 inches deep. 2. Wrap a rubber band around each end of your pleated fabric, about 2 inches in. Wrap a rubber band around the center. Wrap each rubber band around itself as many times as you can. For a pattern with more stripes, add more rubber bands, about every 2 inches; the portion of the fabric under the rubber band won't absorb the dye. 3. Create the circle-design border along the ends of the sarong: Working a few inches from the hemmed side, pinch one of the pleats and secure the bunched fabric with a rubber band. Use another rubber band to tie off the next pleat, right next to the first rubber band. Repeat for all the pleats in that "row." To stagger your dots, flip fabric over and repeat the pinching technique in a row, an inch down from the first row. 4. Mix the dyes: For brown dye, combine 3 quarts warm, not hot, water, 1 cup table salt, and 1 (8- ounce) bottle dark brown fluid Rit dye #25 in a large nonreactive pot. For darker colors, add more dye. For pink dye, combine 3 quarts warm water, 1 cup table salt, 1 tablespoon mauve fluid Rit dye #19, and 1 teaspoon tan fluid Rit dye #16 in a large nonreactive pot.

  • Retro House Dress Apron
    MS. DIOR’S Retro House Dress Apron by Trish Vernazza 1952 was the year of “double-duty” fashion. !is was a reflection of the economy, the drab aftermath of the deprivations of World War II, and the need for practically. Women desired fashionable, flirty, and sophisticated styles in their wardrobe. !ere was a need for a combination of sweaters, skirts, and blouses to create a larger wardrobe along with a staple of day dresses. !e housedress served both as a cover-up and a dressing gown. Worn in the day and removed before early evening, they were a necessary staple for household chores or running out to do daily errands. Made out of simple, washable fabrics, they still needed to be feminine, stylish, and easy to put on and remove. Some housedresses even came with a matching oven glove! Ultra-feminine designs abounded that showcased tiny waists, huge skirts, and rounded shoulders. Christian Dior was, at the time, the most famous couturier that established Paris as the leader of world fashion. On a Paris street, a well-dressed young woman in a copy of Dior’s New Look had the clothes nearly torn off her body by enraged housewives. When it was time to create a new collection, Christian Dior had a ritual: He would retreat to his garden and sit among the flowers. !is is where he would sketch out his designs, inspired by what was blooming. As Dior once said, “Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care, and simplicity.” Other designers wanted to shock, to impress, to dress the working woman, or to pursue an artistic ideal.

  • Nelly Don's 1916 Pink Gingham Apron Frock: an Illustration of the Middle
    Whang and Haar Fashion and Textiles 2014, 1:18 http://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40691-014-0018-1 RESEARCH Open Access Nelly Don’s 1916 pink gingham apron frock: an illustration of the middle-class American housewife’s shifting role from producer to consumer Mikyoung Whang1* and Sherry Haar2 * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract 1Communication and Fine Arts, Centenary College, 400 Jefferson St., Nelly Don created a stylish, practical, affordable pink gingham housedress in 1916, Hackettstown, NJ 07840, USA quickly selling out her first order of 216 dresses at Peck’s Dry Goods Company in Full list of author information is Kansas City. This study investigated the reasons behind the success of her dress, available at the end of the article and found that during the early 20th century, women’s roles shifted from that of producer to consumer, and that clothing was a visible reflection of this shift. Specific design attributes and social appeal contributed to the success of the housedress. Integrating trendy design elements into an affordable housedress along with the growing demand for a stylish, yet practical housedress induced by consumption culture in the early 20th century facilitated the success of Nelly Don’s pink gingham housedress. As such, Nelly Don’s 1916 housedress reflected social and cultural change in this transitional period, and exemplified the shifting role of the middle-class American housewife by offering an alternative to the traditional Mother Hubbard housedress as well as a lifestyle free of long hours spent sewing. Keywords: Nelly Don; Housedress; Consumerism; Housewife; Women’sroles Introduction Nell Donnelly Reed (maiden name, Ellen Quinlan) (1889–1991) (Figure 1), often called “The grand lady of the garment industry,” established the Donnelly Garment Company (DGC) in 1919 in Kansas City, Missouri, with her first husband, Paul Donnelly (Snider 1991).

  • Accompanying Label Information for Respect the Dress Exhibit
    Accompanying Label Content for Virtual Tour of Respect the Dress: Clothing and Activism In U.S. Women’s History Section I: Introduction R.E.S.P.E.C.T. the Dress: Clothing and Activism in U.S. Women’s History The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. It took many decades for advocates to reach the successful passage of federal-level suffrage for women in the United States. In the century that followed, challenges toward women’s right to vote, to hold office, and to participate fully and completely in American society remain. Advocates for and against women’s expanded rights have used clothing to define or support their mission. From bloomer costumes to bra burning, the story of women’s rights activism in the United States is filled with references to how women dress. Radical fashion choices are often given as examples revealing the equally radical behaviors of activists. Yet few women adopted the dress reform style known as bloomers in the 1850s or burned their bras during the women’s liberation movement protests in the 1970s. The 19th Amendment legally prohibited voter discrimination based on sex. Suffragists, the name U.S. activists advocating for women’s voting rights called themselves, played on and influenced the 1910s fashion for white lacy dresses, allowing them to express affiliation with women’s rights advocacy while also maintaining a less radical choice in dress. Suffragists used the three colors of white, purple, and yellow for sashes, buttons, and flags. Feminists in the 1970s and in the new millennium continue to wear these colors as a signal of support to earlier activists.
