I love religious paintings and statues. Ever since I was a little girl and I would go to church with my grandmother every Sunday, there was something that drew me to the artwork and painting surrounding the church. So when I saw this dress by Doris Night from @devilinspiredofficial, I fell in love with it. The print and the colors used are so vibrant! Fabric used is very lightweight and perfect for summer. I paired it with a lighter blouse and sheer tights to withstand the SoCal sun! I also wore some of my favorite black and gold accessories to make the print pop out a bit more.
This is definitely a good starter if you are looking for a religious print dress but don’t wish to break the bank or are just starting out with Lolita fashion and discovering your style.

A photoset of the most peculiar historical fashion I know of:
The Danish/Norwegian fashion for women from the 1630-70. A key feature is the “bluetooth” like headgarb, the last stage of the wired hood worn in the Renaissance (seen in the lower right depiction). By the mid 17th century it was reduced to a flat, three-flap linen cap with a black exterior, and it was reserved for married women only. Seeing a woman wearing such a hood in a large family depiction means you either see the wife or a married daughter.
Other key features is the large white collar turned up towards the head or out over the shoulders, heavily starched, plus the short black jacket emphasizing the belly. A white apron is also often worn. Another interesting feature is that the style is often accented with red, in lining, undergarbs or jewellery. It recreates the popular “tricolor” combo of antiquity: black, white and red.

One Dress a Week Challenge
May: Gold & Silver
Restoration (1995) / Polly Walker as Celia Clemence
Celia wears this ornate metallic gown for the brief scene in which she and Robert are officially betrothed. I am honestly not sure whether this dress is gold or silver! If I had to guess, I’d say pale gold–but it looks gold in some shots and silver in others, and the fact that the whole scene is bathed in golden light confuses the matter further. Either way, it creates a spectacular effect, helped along by lavish jewelry.
James Acheson won a well-deserved Oscar for the costume design in this film.
