Silhouette - Does my butt look big in this? - GOOD! There’s a special kind of elegance about bustle dresses. We often look at past fashions wondering: why the tell did they dress like this? And I’m honestly looking forward to find out at what we’re gonna look the same way when it comes to today’s fashion. (My best guess at the moment are eyebrows and bare ankles during winter) ➡️ What do you think will be mocked about today’s fashion in the future? ⬅️ ___________ #silhouette #bustle #bustledress #historicallyadequate #historical #historicaldress #historicalsewing #victoriana #victoriandress #victorianfashion #sewing #costume #historicalcostume #costumer (hier: Ruhrgebiet) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJvReP9Dsd-/?igshid=w6v8abpnu0zy
May I present: my 2020 project in all its glory ❤️ This has been my biggest project to date or at least the most time consuming one. Being mainly a steampunk, historical accuracy was not my goal, but rather make it historical “agreeable” or historical “adequate” if there’s such a term. My main inspiration were 1880s.
Any suggestions for accessories?
Patterns used: Hat - Butterick - Making History B6397 Jacket - Burda 7880 (highly modified front part and sleeves) Underskirt - Truly Victorian TV261 - 1185 Four-Gore Underskirt Apron and Bustle - Truly Victorian TV365 - 1883 August Overskirt Corset - @cosplaymccalls Shapeshifter by @anachronisminaction
The corset is just an underbust paired with a bra because I currently don’t have an alternative, but making one is on my list. The bustle underskirt was bought from a theatre sale but is very similar to Truly Victorian TV108 - Grand Bustle.
Trimmings by @finefrenchlaces who happened to have the perfect shade of greyish blue. ______ #bustledress #bustle #trulyvictorian #tv365 #tv261 #victorian #costube #sewing #handmade #corset #burda #burda7880 #butterick #b6397 #costume #costumer #historical #historicalsewing #historicallyadequate https://www.instagram.com/p/CJo0GQ8jCzj/?igshid=mt3hvi6207gu
There are a LOT of Dumbo 2019 screen-worn clothes for sale (nothing that Michael Keaton, Colin Farrell, Eva Green, or Danny DeVito wore; Disney’s keeping those).
