[h-cost] Dressing a Victorian Lady
Hi folks, I saw this on the Wall Street Journal site, of all places. It's an article with a slideshow and an amusing video, about a lady who writes historical romances--and wanted to get her steamy scenes right. :) http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304911104576443871615544338.html Fun stuff. I've seen a similar show for how Queen Elizabeth I would have been dressed by her ladies.

Hey! If you watch the video, that's my friend Kelly Cochran-Davis who made the outfit and is demonstrating to Ms Gist how to wear it! Very cool! Kelly is an excellent costumier.

Heh. Did that for a history class, going the other way round. Since it was a mixed group, I wore leotards underneath! Made it easier to slip on jeans t-shirt and sit through the rest of the class. It's fun to watch the uninitiated as you discuss all the underpinnings-- even the dress is unfamiliar to them. == Marjorie Wilser =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement. --MW http://3toad.blogspot.com/ On Jul 20, 2011, at 4:09 AM, Sharon Henderson wrote: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304911104576443871615544338.html ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Way cool! I know of one or two writers who really should have consulted something like that...

Re: [h-cost] Dressing a Victorian Lady
I have a friend who did a bodice ripper presentation at a costume con-- IIRC she ended up getting dragged offstage via the intact and unaffected corset by the frustrated would-be ripper...

I saw the video--very funny presentation! At one point, the man puts his hands into the corsets Lifts the woman off her feet. The corsets, naturally, stay perfectly intact. lol Ann in CT --- On Wed, 7/20/11, Astrida Schaeffer astr...@schaefferarts.com wrote: I have a friend who did a bodice ripper presentation at a costume con-- IIRC she ended up getting dragged offstage via the intact and unaffected corset by the frustrated would-be ripper... ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
