This dress came out of the ground as a pile of beads. The linen holding it together had rotted, leaving roughly seven thousand loose faience beads scattered on and around a woman buried at Giza in the reign of Khufu. It exists today because one archaeologist on the 1927 dig drew exactly where every bead was lying before anyone touched them.

In 1944, four-year-old Jane received a rare party invitation, but her only formal dress no longer fit. Because clothing coupons were strictly rationed during the war, her mother, Elizabeth, had no way to buy a new one. Determined not to let Jane miss the event, Elizabeth spent the night sewing. She gathered all the fabric scraps she had stored away—floral cottons, plain swatches, and small patterned prints—and stitched them together, square by square. @histories_arch #globalmuseum #costume

G'day Its been a bit of a damp day here, lots of weeding has been achieved! Task for this evening... Allegedly I need to have a Friday the 13th #costume for work next Friday So having thought about the bare minimum effort... I'm considering a headband with small black cat ears As more than 90% of the people I work with are male... a witches hat / broom would just cause way way too many negative 🫏 comments Anyone got a better suggestion? Minimum effort Minimum cost Minimum visibility (I just want to hide in the corner) #gday #Greetings #Friday13
