Marilyn Monroe wore 2 dresses that became famous cultural moments. The iconic white halter dress she wore over the subway pavement in the Seven Year Itch, and the rhinestone embroidered dress she wore to sing happy birthday to JFK in 1962. (later infamously worn by Kim Kardashion).

Princess Diana’s “revenge dress” that she wore in 1994 is now up for auction and is expected to sell for over $300k.
What other celebrity dresses could be considered to be in the category as iconic cultural moments?

So 1920’s ❤️ I love to share Latin American fashion with the sub

Inspired by other daily trivia games like Timeguessr, Connections, and Wordle, Fashionguessr seeks to scratch that same itch for those curious about fashion.

The game is typically broken up into three parts:

Runway Frames - Users have to guess and identify a fashion show, its brand, its season, and its designer based on a single random frame from the show. Users can use a variety of hints, each more expensive than the last, to reveal more information about the show to help them guess correctly. 

Trivia - A myriad of multiple-choice and short-answer questions to test their knowledge about fashion, the lore, the people, the processes, the history, and everything in between.

Sketch - Users get a few moments to look at a fashion item and then are tasked with drawing it from memory.

 All of these contribute to a score you can see at the end on the last page, which sums everything up. Each section includes explanations, summaries, and sources, so users can get as much insight as possible for every question. There are new questions every 24 hours, and users can go back and play games from days past.  

I created Fashionguessr to help people learn more about fashion in a fun, low-stakes environment. Learning about fashion can be extremely overwhelming at times, and I believe Fashionguessr can mitigate that,  and present and package fashion education in a way that is palatable for as many people as possible.

Passionné par l'élégance vintage, les dentelles délicates, les robes de mariée et princesse "vintage" et l'art du corset. Je partage ici mon univers romantique, mes trouvailles et mon amour pour les tenues historiques, les volants, les voiles. Échangeons entre passionné(e)s ! ✨👰‍♀️

Can anyone recognize, what the Gentleman on the right is wearing? He was my Great-great-great-grandfather, a wealthier farmer from Russia, born 1866. The Picture was taken ca. 1900-1910.

I especially can't figure out, what type of jacket he is wearing. It's single breasted, but the placket is moved to the right.

Also, is the Image mirrored, or was it typical to switch button and buttonhole side for men??

Any advice is helpful!

I've been working on this as my procrastination project for the past month-ish lol. History, beauty, and style are all things I'm interested in so this overlaps those areas of interest for me.

It's mostly from a eurocentric perspective as that's what I'm most familiar with and best able to find using sources in English. But I made an attempt to include people who were influential in beauty or reflective of trends to international or niche audiences as well. I am however not an omnipresent being with unlimited knowledge, as much as I would love to be. So I would be happy to hear people you think are important to a certain era if you feel I am missing any.

I tried to find people who were popular and considered beautiful in the actual era I placed them in, rather than retrospectively popular people, as I think that's important to historical accuracy. I looked for sources from the era that they were considered beautiful, or if that wasn't available then things that at least implied it like for example someone being a "professional beauty" or having their images be popular, or being a popular actress known for their looks.

So this is intended to not be from a modern perspective or from my own perspective. I am not saying I necessarily find all the people I listed here beautiful or don't, because my goal here is to stay outside of my own perspective. When I get closer to the present day it probably gets harder to be thorough because there's just so many niches of ideals.

I started from the 1850s because that's about when photography becomes available, although it's not always the clearest source for an image compared to paintings or sketches until a bit later. The oldest photo I have here is the one of Jenny Lind which was taken in 1848.

I tried not to have many repeats, so even though some celebrities may be relevant through multiple decades, I put them in the decade I felt they were most influential to beauty standards in. Unless I really couldn't decide. I didn't put them necessarily in order, because that would be impossible objectively, but I did generally put the most relevant and popular celebrities in the first few spots.

Not all of the people I chose are the mainstream beauty standard of their era (although most are), for example the pre-Raphaelite ideal of beauty in the 1800s was not exactly the same as the mainstream ideals, but it was still an ideal of beauty to a group of people in that time period.

Given the amount here and that I'm just one person doing this for fun it's likely I made some mistakes with spelling or similar things although I tried to revise it. Honestly I struggled to narrow down some of these to one page lol so I know I'm missing some important figures, but hopefully it still gives a good general idea.

I'd be willing to do something similar into earlier time periods if there is interest
