Sg,
Her figure was the result of early corseting, common in her era
especially among the upper classes.
I'm glad you posted the link. The clothing was lovely, of course, and
it also inspired me to check Abe books, where I found a $35 copy of
the book with free shipping! All I have to do now is wait. . . foot
tapping. . . twitch!!

I?am ernestly hoping to see if I can get some of this work up on
line...not
my forte but maybe with some help from a techie.
I had an exhibit "Cut Down To Size 2"at a small gallery the month of
December.? "...Size" was two years ago.? This recent show included
the
models who wear garments from the theme"The Bifurcation of American
Fashion...1800-1940".
In retirement, I find there are so many periods of history that I
did not
get to do on stage or otherwise and can now employ my time in
research and
the cutting table in bringing such fashion to 3D delight.

Ooh, post a picture when you're done - and pictures of the other
gowns,

is really
interesting.
I've had a lot of fun making doll-sized replicas of costumes (and
other
goods) from archaeological finds. There are some pictures of theme
here:
