some of my favorite vintage dresses
        ↳  green

these are gorgeous 

aaaaaand at least one of them was dyed with an arsenic compound

one of these days i’m gonna have to write a thing about arsenic dyes

Oh arsenic pigments. So very very very deadly.

If anyone who paints has ever wondered why you can only get “emerald green hue” when most other pricier pigments (like cadmium red and cobalt blue and such) are gettable as hue and in real form? it’s cos the pigment called “emerald green” was a copper acetoarsenite (please let me have spelled that right lololol) and thus…yeah. It isn’t stable, which meant that when it was used as a clothing dye or wallpaper ink (which it was, widely, until about 1900 or so–it was cheap to produce), it eventually made people in close proximity to it rrrrrrrrreal deceased.

This is why I am really careful at my job with maps that have bright green pigment remaining. Usually greens in that family react badly with the print ink of the map and like…Italy falls out of the page because it was green. But sometimes there is remaining paint and I have to be cautious. (See also: bright orange that might be mercury/cinnabar related, white that might have lead in it…) I’m not in any danger, no more so than I was at any given time at art college, but I do err on the side of caution. Because just SOME PIGMENTS MAN.

Anyway if you wrote a post about arsenic pigments I would read the heck out of it and be very appreciative 😀

I’ve seen lots of reblogs and gotten several asks saying “these dresses would kill you.” Here ya go.

Making the burgundy dress.

Design, patterns and sewing made by me. The dress is renaissance inspired, with some personal modifications. The whole dress was hand sewn, including the hems. More pictures of it and a tutorial can be found on my blog.  

I can’t even begin to express how beautiful this is

UGH @fiberistanora maybe I should sew this instead. We have ten days right?

holy shit rachel you should make this look at how pretty it is
