# marquise.de - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `marquise.de` ## Description La Couturière Parisienne is an online repository dedicated to fashion and costume history, covering the period from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century. Established in October 1996, the site brings together historical images, research, and practical resources for anyone interested in period clothing. Visitors can explore a database of around 4,000 costume pictures, read hundreds of articles, and download authentic historical patterns. The site also features an extensive how-to section and special content, combining visual reference with guidance for making or understanding period garments. Its material is presented in English and German, welcoming an international audience to discover the evolution of dress across centuries. After moving from Geocities in 1998, the project found a new home at costumegallery.com before establishing its own domain in 1999. La Couturière Parisienne serves as an accessible archive and learning resource for costume enthusiasts, researchers, and makers seeking information and inspiration grounded in historical clothing. ## Industries - 🧪 Science and Education - 🎸 Hobbies and Leisure - 🎸 Crafts _(under Hobbies and Leisure)_ - 🧪 History _(under Science and Education)_ ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Madison | #0f3b66 | dark | | Egg White | #ffedc1 | light | | Korma | #8f3b0c | accent | ## Fonts - Book Antiqua — asset _(custom)_ - arial — asset _(custom)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
