Hello, thanks for pointing this out! When I say his suit is "1830s" is a bit vague -- the pattern said 1790, I definitely see the style around much later.
I hate the 1830s sleeves and won't make those. I thought the 1830s full skirts were made with crinolines, but apparently, they weren't cage crinolines yet, thanks for clarifying this. Apparently, if I want to go for anything 1830-1850-ish, pretty much any skirt width would go, which is good... yet, it is becoming stiff a petticoat with multiple flounces, but no wire or extra stiffening.
