Anna and Laura Tirocchi ran a dressmaking shop for the elite of Providence, Rhode Island between 1915 and 1947. In 1989 the building, which had been shut for 42 years, was found to contain a time capsule of the development of early 20th century fashion - from fabric and dresses to photographs and sewing machines and associated ephemera. <a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/index.html">The A&L Tirocchi Dressmakers Project website</a> showcases the collection <small>(after 12 years of research by <abbr title="Rhode Island School of Design"><a href="http://www.risd.edu/index.cfm">RISD</a></abbr>)</small> through: <a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/514/">the 514 project</a> (with <a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/514/archive/index.html">an image archive</a>), <a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/essays/">essays</a>, <a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/database/">databases</a> and <a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/exhibition/">exhibition</a> sections.

I wish that I had the money and the type of job that would allow me to wear clothes like these every day! But I don't, so I'll just drool over the pictures instead.comment:www.metafilter.com,2006:site.54000-1405736Fri, 18 Aug 2006 07:20:09 -0800meringueBy: tellurian

What a great find peacay. Well done. It's a fascinating story, the contents of 514 Broadway wrapped in tissue paper and left like that as a 'time capsule', a treasure trove of info and sumptuous fabrics, details of the whole garment biz of that era and genre.
The many <a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/exhibition/shop/work05.html">stories</a> are delightful.
I wish there were even more photos of the <a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/exhibition/shop/sew02.html">small</a> things, the machines, trimmings, the <a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/exhibition/shop/bill02.html">lace</a> collection, the <a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/exhibition/shop/bill03.html">magazines </a>from which the designs were taken. The dresses are <a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/exhibition/fashion/classic02.html">stunning</a>.
Just<a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/essays/introduction_07.html"> learned</a> this:<em> Societe des Artistes Decorateurs, which promoted French design and broached the idea for the famous Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes of 1925, the source for the term "Art Deco".</em> How dresses were<a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/exhibition/fashion/exot05.html"> pre-made</a>.

Brilliant, thank you peacay!
I'm intrigued to know the story behind the <a href="http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/database/measure_db.php3?nameID=C520">

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands.
