velvet evening bodice

http://vintagetextile.com/

The bodice is fashioned from black silk velvet with neckline inserts of ivory tulle. The apparently simple style becomes increasingly complex on closer examination: draped folds on the bodice and elaborately ruched, puffed sleeves. The asymmetrical neckline is embellished with faux pearls, faceted black beads, and glittering rhinestones

The unaltered bodice laces up the back. Its interior is lined with a cream-colored taffeta under bodice with boned seams.

victorian lady 1850

The first garments put on by the lady of the l850's are the Chemise, an unshaped undergarment which reaches just below the knees and has a drawstring neckline and the drawers with back button closure, open legged for convenience and calf length with scalloped, embroidered hems.

The next item is the corset which, with its back lacing, has a front busk closure, introduced in the late l840's.

Over the Corset and Corset cover, pictured on page 5, is the Under Petticoat, usually quite plain and worn as many as six at a time, depending on the season.

Next is the Hoop Petticoat, hailed as a liberator from the need for the excessive layers of under petticoats. Only a single under-petticoat was required with the hoop.

The final undergarments is the Over Petticoat, often, with an elaborately embroidered hem. It is worn over the layered under petticoats or, in the late l850's, the hoop petticoat.

Finally, the lady dons her dress, pictured here in a Fan Front bodice with capped close fitting long sleeves and cartridge pleated, three flounced skirt. The properly attired lady is never seen in public without bonnet and gloves.

Gentleman's silk top coat, late 18th century

Throughout the 18th century, the essential features of a gentleman's costume—the topcoat, the waistcoat with or without sleeves, and knee-length breeches—did not change, but the shape slowly evolved. After 1760, topcoats like this one began to be cut away at the front and were seldom buttoned.

Despite the glacial pace of change in men's fashion over the period, subtle details on the garment could show if the wearer were in or out of fashion. This is because the style of trimming or the accessories changed more quickly than the basic shape. So the details on the garment were stylistically quite important.

The coat retains the large self-covered buttons, fold down collar, and wide cuffs of earlier coats. The buttons on the topcoat are decorative only; the coat closes in front with hidden hooks. The sleeves of the topcoat are cut with a curve to accommodate the elbow. http://vintagetextile.com/new_page_251.htm

georgian era

Fashion in the period 1750–1795 in European and European-influenced countries reached heights of fantasy and abundant ornamentation, especially among the aristocracy of France, before a long-simmering movement toward simplicity and democratization of dress under the influence of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the American Revolution led to an entirely new mode and the triumph of British tailoring following the French Revolution.
