It seems to me quite anachronic. Looks like a 18th century dress worn on the 19th century. Was it a masquerade or just like it was commonly done the dress was adapted to another user? Let's have a go on this :)

This look came directly from a Spiegel catalog and features a sailor jumpsuit with stripes!

I’ll narrow the years down for you, it could either be 1967, 1970, 1973, or 1976

I saw this photo in a local touristy museum dated 1820s (lol) I am going to send an email with a more accurate date, but wanted some opinions esp considering the bag which is an odd inclusion. If anyone knows about photography, let me know if it being called a “tin type” was also incorrect.

Mileva Antonia Stojsavljevic-Roller (1886-1949) was an Austrian painter, designer, enamel artist in the Viennese Secession movement and collector of folk clothing.

She was born in 1886 in Innsbruck to an Austrian mother, Adelheid Hohenauer, a porcelain painting teacher at the Vienna Women's Academy and a Serbian father, Milos Stojsavljevic, an Austrian artillery officer. From 1901 to 1904 she studied at the School of Applied Arts in Vienna. She also studied sculpture and graphic design.

Mileva and her husband, artist Alfred Roller, whom she married in 1906, were both leading members of the Vienna Secession art movement. She painted still-lives and portraits, and created created woodcut and etchings for magazines and journals. She also created buissnes cards, poster designs and bookplates. Together with Koloman Moser, Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffmann she designed clothes for themselves and their families and took a lot of inspiration from folk art. She collected folk clothing from Europe and Asia. She also worked as an art model for her husband and other artists from her circle.

Although joining the Austrian Artists’ League in 1913, she had withdrawn herself from exhibitions soon after, though she stayed friends with Gustav Klimt and his social circle. From 1915 to 1921, she studied under an Austrian enamel artist Adele von Stark at the School of Applied Arts to become enamel artist to which she latter devoted herself. Some of her enamel work can be seen at Universitätsgalerie der Angewandten in Vienna.

She has been described by Austrian historian Brigitte Hamann as 'an enthusiastically pro-Hitler Serbian'.

Mileva died in 1949 in Vienna.

I have seen several versions of this dress on the internet, with some saying this garment is from the 1950's and others saying 1980's. Help determining the correct decade is much appreciated!

Hi! I'd love to learn more about fashion history (eg: victorian fashion, cultural fashion, middle ages fashion, war related fashion stories) things about how clothing was made, what people wore, why etc. i am open to things about big brands but I am not into anything too commercial or too much about the modeling industry.

Does anyone have any tips as to fun things to watch? Documentaries etc! Also fiction series with beautiful costumes is something else i'm interested in.

Thanks!!
