#historicallyadequate

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? ⬅️

What would be the title of this show? I think this photo looks like a movie poster or a book cover of some kind of Victorian-set detective story (so if anybody wants to make this kind of content… Feel free to get the image from me )
I got the hat for Tobias for a special image we created for Christian @vonaster , keep your eyes on his #ShylockHolmes project if you want to know more (and no, that is not a typo )

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.
