'Fashioning yourself as a tubercular Victorian might once have felt ironic; with millions in the grip of a real pandemic—one that is disproportionately affecting Black and brown communities—it feels Marie Antoinette-at-the-Hameau-level out of touch.'
I can appreciate the aesthetic appeal of a nightgown. I get that they’re comfortable, andIt's possible that I’m projecting way too much onto a few yards of fabric. But the nightgown, especially as daywear, strikes me as reactionary. Its evocations of passive Victorian and pre-Raphaelite femininity feel like an uncritical throwback to those eras' mold of white female fragility. The styling of these images evokes sleeping beauties or Ophelias, or worse, invalids.
