It's the weekend: Fly-by post.

"James Badger." Joseph Badger. 1760. The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Oil on canvas. 29.85.

I love this little boy dressed in a gown, before being breeched. It is different than young girl's gowns, but still so similar. The little black bow around his neck is so sweet, too.

It's the weekend: Fly-by post.

I don't usually mention men's things in the blog, so how about a lovely man's at-home cap?

Man's At-Home Cap. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Silk plain weave with supplementary warp-float patterning, and silk and metallic-thread embroidery. M.61.6.

A man would wear this with a wrapping gown or banyan while at home instead of a wig.
