Dressing up in a Natural Form era promenading gown

dressing up in the natural form promenade in them by prior a tire today we are looking at a promenade a now this specific one was meant to be worn at the seaside let us see what is lurking beneath all the frills starting with combinations in stock helix oops old stockings known as a whole you didn't see this sorry what's next forgot my patent hook it gained five three at home so doing it the hard way this takes a little more time but then again I have had a lot of practice with these buttons the stockings are cuttin light and comfy the combinations are like cotton to Deesa the open crotch model making it easy to use the loo these layers would be washed frequently the stockings would be and will be done and mended combinations which combine a chemise drawers in one garment were becoming popular they reduced bulk at the waist one on another one to go natural formula 1876 1832 dispensed with the prominent bustle and emphasized a more natural flow of human body still a cause of it of course and before you say anything about horses please check my video on busting corset myths almost there see lovely birds are the american duchess Renoir course our next one let us get pepper to banana here knows Victoria rooms can get quite stuffy that is if I ever open that under success now where are we right path for the corset this is a longer line model essential for close-fitting crystal bodice made to an antic pattern and cotton cotton and silk satin with a spoon busk and bust cording the basque curves over the belly making it very comfortable to Ella straight Basques were also used and these two would curve with use overtime split bus convention at the beginning of Victorian era made it easy to put it on without help once tightened the laces are crossed and propped forward but then tied under the hook securing them below the waist level no bulk tada and the patella close-up and yes it is becoming a bit to be coming out perilous of weight loss natural form may have dispensed with big muscles but like padding was still used if needed just enough to create a slightly rounded posterior and the tie goes and the decock said hook - but it go next the flaps the petticoat can be used both on a bustle and natural form your outfits here it simply adds more support to the skirt the petticoat buttons up at the site much more can be interpreted on it is made in cotton light breathable and would frequently be washed too it could also be starched and pressed but my maid is out and I'm lazy done and is also a bit too big may have to make another have had this one for 10 units now courts are cover any more buttons [Music] tiny buttons hidden [Music] camisa was made out of very thin cotton lon it protects the corset from wear and bless its edges so that the corset outline doesn't show through the bodice this one is an antique item new old stock it also soaks up perspiration prevent extents on the civet bodice which would be washed often the skirt goes next the end of the decade so narrow scattered long trains a very elegant silhouette and discourage tended to be very ornate to frills ruching ruffles bows lace everything goes the more the better and then add some more much more [Music] the South tapes are tied behind the legs keeping the front of the skate flat with just enough movement for walking not quite the latter later hobble skirt but not too far whole far either [Music] the bodice sporting long side panels both scares and botas are made in very light silk with cotton lining not a lot of weight to them and they breathe very well essential for summer months the bodice is bound to and de waist a fast ins in front keeping the strength of the buttons and yes you guessed it more tiny buttons joy I'm getting all the practice I can get here one more a buttonhook could be useful here too but hey this up actually too bad naturally a wealthy woman would have a servant or a family member to help but as you can see it is possible to get the dress without any health anyway might just take a few minutes longer not a big deal nimble fingers due to all that practice no doubt [Music] I wish unaccomplished Oh done [Music] look my bumbles three fumbles important decisions which one it both a light strip on its suitable place on I think this one becomes to be better but going outside happiness would be used especially if it is as windy as do we know a Victorian weekend and Brighton the light glutes are a must [Music] you can't make it up three graphs each different [Music] the gloves protect hands from sun and dirt they also limit your mobile phones and for walking outside what we need is a security lifter long trains are all fine but they were not tracked on the ground they would be lifted for walking held up in hand oh what's and lifter the trains are on the floor indoors or in a clean public environment and then they would have a detachable ruffle underneath a below yes this would be easily removed for wash train to petticoats were also used slight adjustment and I think I'm done boom our loans look my bumpers [Music] a person Marty silks and parasol to protect me from the Sun and I'm already yay close up time damn just noticed my bow is askew dear [Music] behold the skirt of time the training for glory and the inspiration Brighton [Music] and that's what the ballast looks like here on a natural form ballgown just the catechol field that can be chucked into the wash once 30 very convenient [Music] discounters a project for my next book Victorian dressmaker to pattern instructions will include a clip and a pattern etc for the pink natural Europe or gown I included in the first volume available on our website thank you for watching [Music]
