I especially love the outfit you made for your sister a few months ago. It is SO beautiful!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713535191616985475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-44239282739281017552020-02-25T17:14:43.374-06:002020-02-25T17:14:43.374-06:00Natalie, your posts have been an invaluable help! ...Natalie, your posts have been an invaluable help! I have gone back to them over and over as I hash this out in my mind and I have especially enjoyed the quotes from period publications talking about petticoats. Eventually I want a silk petticoat that rustles - no matter what proper society may think about such a thing. :DSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713535191616985475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-53861002999541770232020-02-11T08:47:20.655-06:002020-02-11T08:47:20.655-06:00Oh I can't wait to see this come together! 189...Oh I can't wait to see this come together! 1890's is one of my favorite eras, as far as costuming goes. (Probably due to Anne Shirley's puffed sleeves, honestly. lol) You should be perfectly fine with your existing corset. I wear the same corset for all Victorian stuff, 1830's-1890's (yeah, I know corset shapes changed quite a bit decade to decade, but it works!)Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07634910035013549782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-20065025278264441862020-02-10T18:55:33.839-06:002020-02-10T18:55:33.839-06:00Dear Sarah,

I have been researching and posting about 1890s skirt supports for gee, four or five months now. Having covered just petticoats and interlinking, am at the point of reviewing cords and wires in skirts themselves (generally for heavier ones). You might have a read and see if some of the methods will work for you. Note that cotton will need to be really stiff to work well as interlining...<br />I still need to finish some removable trimmings on my cotton bodice and skirt combination, and make a hat...<br />Very best, and looking forward to reading about your experiences,<br />Natalie in KyZipZiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088551086336264968noreply@blogger.com
