A Stitch in Time ✂️Corset, cotton & silk, American 1820-39. Via The Met #corset #underpinnings #dresshistory #fashionhistory
Andrea1884 - Ladies Undervest. (Worn by elderly aunts who always wear wool next to the skin.)
Sini TuuliaUnderpinnings!
Circa 1780s stays, the original pattern heavily modified to accommodate my wonky rib, scoliosis and extra wide hip bones.
Linen with cotton & silk thread, cotton binding. Synthetic whalebone.
I sewed all the seams and all of the finishing by hand, but my RSI objected to all the boning channels so those are machine stitching!
The underpetticoat is an old cotton bedsheet I thought was a lovely and appropriate color.
