I keep these guys in the back seat of my car so that when I go to pick up friends or someone I can be like “Ohh sorry, I’ve got no room for you. My children are in the back seats”
If I had a car, this would ABSOLUTELY happen!

Collection’s Highlight: 18th Century Overdress
You could say I am over the moon about this overdress (HA! see what I did there?). I dont have too much information on this piece other than it is very clearly 18th century, and came from a family that had deep roots in the nearby Mohawk Valley. This overskirt has an underskirt in a lovely pink color. The silk is in amazing condition. I expected old silk to be very delicate, but this seems much sturdier than many of our late 19th/ early 20th century pieces. I assume this has something to do with how the silks were treated as chemical processes and dyes changed.
Overdress, ca. 1770, Silk, L 49 in. Fenimore Art Museum, Cooperstown, New York, Gift of Mrs. Douglas Robinson, N0210.1962.
Love the flowers and colours!

ITS ALL IN THE DETAILS: 18th Century Silk Over Dress
Some detailed shots of the bright and bold embroidered flowers that flow down this 18th century overdress. The top picture shows a closer look at the front of the bodice. The bottom picture shows a closeup of the back of the bodice.
