When we dress Lolita we have that same problem when it comes to petticoats. x.x Some girls use just one petticoat and it's hell of a time when walking, it's hard not to knock things over. XD Now imagine the ones that use two or even three? XDD So I totally understand about the hoopskirt. XD
fashion has it's drawbacks even as it does today (2:28) seriously woman? tell me one item of clothes (which is regularly worn by a large number of women) with which women get either burnt to death or get caught in something which then beats them to death.
and to the 49 people who want to wear that in our times - nothing is stopping you. if you life in a western society you can whatever you want. Though getting in an elevator would be tricky. :-P
Ohhh..it looks heavy and too warm. I think I prefer the Edwardian era. And to think that some women caught fire wearing them while cooking is worrying...
It seemed like the more clothes she wore the more unhappy and restricted she became. I love the look of the clothes and I where a corset occasionally myself but she just looked so sad.
a snood is a decorative hair net and was called so up until around 1940., and there is no way she would have done her hair before she place all of those layers over it.

We have many 19th century gowns in the Museum's collection and fabrics range from plain weave cotton prints (wash dresses) to silk taffetas, rib weaves, heavy velvets and some satins and woolens. I recommend a book called, Textiles for Victorian and Edwardian Clothing: 1880-1920 by D. Affleck and K. Herbaugh. It is a wonderful book of fabric swatches.
I do believe that 19th century fashionably dressed sat in chairs that were very deep in order to accomodate the fullness of the hoop and in later decades the bustle. In addition, I believe they didn't sit very far back, but rather on the edge of the chair.
@19myself91 Actually, it all did depend on the whether. There would be less petticoats in the summer. Stocking material depended on the occasion. Plus, sun tans were not popular in that time period, so a bonnet would be worn most of the time outside. That's all I know of.
@gailbostock I am glad I don't. If I had to pull my corset so tight to put on a skirt, it's not worth it. I like breathing. Don't get me wrong I love the corset, but it shouldn't be pull so tightly that in wrecks you.
@LittleImpaler Have you ever worn a corset? You can breathe in a corset. Not all corsets require cinching your waist down to 16 inches and destroying your innards. Mine is amazing.
I would not want the corsage, I am no puppet, I want to walk around freely with my jeans especially in winter. I wish men would dress like this age, they look like apes nowadays
@trekkicat their garments were actually pretty warm in winter. Imagine all those things on you, pretty warm indeed. o.o And why you ask that men dress like Victorian men, if you're not gonna dress s a Victorian woman. XDD Double standard, just saying XDDD And it's corset sweetie, a corsage is a small (or sometimes big) accessory comprising of flowers and a bit of lace that can either be worn as a brooch or around your wrist. ^^
The split drawers are actually very comfy. I have two pair and love them! It also makes using the bathroom much easier! Otherwise, you have to remove most of your clothing! Eep! As to cage patterns, check out originals-by-kay. She sells a great kit too!
Seriously?! A SNOOD?!?! For a clothing historian, she's not well-versed in terminology. It would have been a hairnet. And the "lady" would've dressed her hair BEFORE putting on her hairnet!! Oy vey.
I absolutely LOVE how women would not wear pants back then because of their religious belief, I am a pentecostal and we believe that way. Although we do wear underwear lol.
Eine excelente Vorführung; so ein herrlich flexibler Unterbau, eine solche schöne Krinoline fehlt mir noch; die ist durch einen steifen Reifrock nicht zu ersetzen - höchstens durch einen Megapetticoat wie ich einen unter solch einem Kleid trage, was das Trageerlebnis erst richtig hochpuscht.
She talks about the first woman climing the Matterhorn... It is a mountain between the border of Switzerland and Italy. Its summit is 4'478m (14'692 fts) high, which makes it one of the highest peaks in the Alps.
The first woman to reach the summit of the Matterhorn was British mountaineer Lucy Walker on August 22nd 1871. She is said to have worn a white print dress.
She looks so angry...
