A fashion line rooted in 1940's glamor, rock & roll, and the military, Sansone Designs second full collection is almost ready for the runway. Form fitting garments that gracefully slide over the body in jewel-toned silks and wools with beautiful stitching details and hardware harkening back to an era when glamor was key, American pride was high, and a touch of 'bad girl,' could make you a star. I

take pride in my work and would live to share my take on fashion with you. Check out the pictures on my page and come see me at Style in the Loop. To purchase or order your own custom garment, message me here or check out my website http://sansone.carbonmade.com

For anyone interested in the way people dressed in previous times the advent of photography has been the greatest boon possible. It has allowed us to see in far more detail and accuracy not only style, but structure, fit, and accessories in use at a particular time.
The MET holds this studio portrait from 1885 of two women. They are clearly women of middle means, stylishly, but not overtly expensively dressed. Their dresses are correct for walking or town, as well as for visiting. During this particular style period, sleeves were cut very close and high requiring precision to get right. Bodices also were very closely cut and it needed a good seamstress to get the fit smooth.
In both ensembles the decorative details are minimized while still staying true to prevailing modes. This had the advantage of allowing a dress to be restyled a bit to extend its usefulness.
