shouldve done thisssssss this year!

Mantua | c.1760 —The gown had been found in May 1989 by Theresa Merville Crawley while clearing her grandfather’s attic in Cambridge in a box labeled ‘dressing up clothes’. A paper label indicated that it had once belonged to a member of the family called Mrs Colonel Clapham, who came from a prominent Welsh family. She was granddaughter of Sidney Parry (née Lewis, b. 1738), an heiress with a considerable fortune who inherited Madryn Castle on the Llyn peninsula. It seems possible that Sidney Parry was, in fact, the original wearer of the mantua, as she was of sufficient status to attend court, of sufficient wealth to own such a splendid gown, and was between 17 and 22 when the gown was made between 1755 and 1760 – in other words at an age where she might be presented at Court.

In between the 18th-century use of the garment and its arrival in the V&A, the bodice had been used for 19th-century fancy dress. The adjustments to make it fit a 19th-century body included shortening the sleeves and removing the train. #whattheywore #historicalfashion #fashion #fashiondesign #fashionhistory #historyoffashion #vintagefashion #art #vintage #historicfashion #defunctfashion #historicalfashion #costume #costumedesign #couture #costumehistory #18thcenturyfashion #mantua #victoriaandalbertmuseum #gold

I’m just going to add the Margay here:

“But Tumblr user severalowls, that’s just an Ocelot!”

No, you fool! You Buffoon! The Margay has mastered something generations of cats have only dreamed of! Getting down out of trees:

The Margay has reversible ankles, and uses them to do some pretty sweet tricks (And also hunt down monkeys, birds and other tree-dwelling critters in their otherwise safe treetop homes.)

Pictured: Margay who is not stuck.
