@TxKimberly - Back in the old days temperatures weren't really as hot as it is nowadays. From what I've read there was even an Ice Age of sorts that was going on in the 18th-to-19th centuries. But yeah, you're right about those dresses being a PITA to wear on.

@ma1r7g4a7ret maybe let it load up first? pause it & do something else for a while.

@hersorey4321 now in 2010...women have pretty much discarded everything! lol

Wow what a royal pain in the backside just to get dressed back then! I can't imagine how hot all of that must be on a summer day when your out working. I'm getting tired just thinking about it!

You did a very good job. I also make clothing, hats and accessories from the different periods. Thank you for posting.
@hersorey4321 Not true. The stays were around in the Regency era -they just got smaller for the most part & were more similar to the sports bras of today. As for WWI, women were asked to give up on corsets so that the metal could be used in the war. It was a form of rationing. Many women didn't want to give up their corsets. Also, which decade & which class for the weight of 30 pounds in the Victorian era? Maybe in the 1870's with the bustle skirts but it was displaced over the body.
