Q:Did you know that beetle wings used to be sewn onto dresses? Like, hundreds of them on each dress? It's equally creepy and beautiful.

we should bring embroidery like this back (but w/ imitation wings). we should all be walking around with beads & wings, clanging

Bring this back in 2019

There’s a youtuber who does historical sewing and costumery who did this recently

Samoseli Pirveli (meaning “first garment”) is a shop that specializes in traditional Georgian clothes, which differ according to the “strata and regions of Georgia” (source). One style of garment is called a “chokha” and another, “kalakuri kaba” (meaning “city dress”). Each image has a line of English categorizing the clothing style.

Georgian folk costume is the classiest-looking form of clothing on the face of the earth.
