There's something wonderful about dresses that are so powerful. I looked at the photos of the different time periods, thinking that I might find a particular decade that most stirred me (read: update my profile regarding favorite fashion era). While I'm not as fond of the flapper dresses, I found most of the others appealing (along with Cookie). Maybe that just speaks to the quality of the pieces that would be shown in a museum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/npr-photos-from-mets-american-woman-exhibit#post-200354 Sat, 14 Aug 2010 01:40:24 +0000 Sparky 200354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for sharing this!

My favorite is French one on the 8th slide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/npr-photos-from-mets-american-woman-exhibit#post-200309 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 23:31:47 +0000 Cookie 200309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow.

The show, which closes Sunday, is called "American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity," and it features everything from gowns to riding habits to a woolen bathing suit — clothes created between 1890 and 1940 that show the gradual emancipation of the American woman, and her rise as an international symbol of style and beauty."</p> <p>I'm loving the Jessie Franklin Turner gold lame myself... You? </p>
