mala_14Up next we have my pictures from the Royal Ontario Museum. There would have been more, but I noticed that my batteries were low near the beginning and the Patricia Harris Gallery of Textiles and Costumes wasn't until the top floor and I was working my way up. So I saved the rest of my batteries and pictures until then. I was really taken by the huge, random pieces of Chinese architecture that were just hanging out in the middle of a neo-Classical building. Well, that and the large, stone camels. :)
The rest of the pics are from the costume and textiles gallery. Sorry, they're also not really in order, so if a dress looks the same as another one, it's the same dress, not a similar looking one. There were two 18th century dresses, one of yellow silk and one of pink chintz. The yellow one has lots of silver trimmings. The pink one had a bunch of Dresden-work accessories that I took close-ups of. There is a brown printed cotton dress from the 1830s with some pictures of the info that accompanied it. Details to note are the back closure with a strange front opening as well (thought to be used for nursing), the accompanying pelerine, and the pretty hand embroidery on the sleeve pleats. There is a dress that I heard someone say that they call it the Worth dress at the museum, not because it's by Worth, but because it's in a similar style. That's the white with green trimmings 1860s gown. It's also trimmed with gauze. Also included are a red bustle, black corset, and a few men's items like suits and part of an 18th century embroidered waistcoat. A few other things are the 18th century embroidered apron and bedspread, a 17th century handkerchief with lace, and two mid-19th century quilts that I thought were neat.
These pictures are here.
