Hi all,
The thread on lacing was very timely as it got me going again on my late
1820s outfit so on to the questions. I'm looking at doing a late 1820s outfit
from the skin out (I already have Fran's excellent book) and am not finding
undergarments specifically dated to 1828. This is a transition period from the
classical Regency look into the big gigot sleeves so the sleeve heads are large
but not huge, the waistline has crept down to about the natural waist, maybe a
little high but not right up under the bust. Classic Regency corsets are too
short but a later corset (Edwardian) gives the wrong profile. Any help with
links to 1826-1829 garments, particularly undergarment, or good pattern
recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.
Cassandra
