Interestingly enough, just hours after I watched this for the first time, my eldest daughter called and told me about these interesting dresses that the wealthy characters in a period drama she was watching were wearing. She sent a screenshot and I told her about fan front bodices. This turned out to be surprisingly useful. Stay well.

I'm so glad this video was useful! The dresses from this time period are so intricate and interesting, truly a transitional period from the wacky 1830s and the hoop skirts we've come to associate with the Victorian period. The variety and creativity in these dresses is remarkable!

I loved that 1840s doesn't have to be my jam in order to still get a LOT of super useful take away from this. So often when we're first looking at a new era, we get distracted by the similarities. But you've made a really comprehensive list of where we can start noting the variety that's going to make recreation so much more achievable. Thank you for putting this together for us.

Isn't it a stunner? I love imagining who wore it and what she did: did she walk through tall grass and stare longingly into the distance? Read in shade under a tree? It's just so fluffy 💕

This is fascinating. I've got a photo of an ancestor that people are telling me is 1860s because her dress is full-busted, has a waistband and buttons down the front. The problem is I have another photo of her from the 1860s and she's much older. But as you've shown here, there are examples from the 1840s where those things existed. Thanks for such a thorough analysis, this helps tremendously.

I adore this era, so underrated amongst the sea of 1890s walking skirted lady KZbinrs, Does anyone here know if there is an example of a low necked evening bodice with a fan front? Or would Dan front be only a daytime style?
@Pour_La_Victoire2 ай бұрын
❤️ There are several surviving low-necked bodices with fan fronts, but they tend to be in sheer cottons so more like daywear. Occasionally I've seen silk low-necked bodices with a pleated (rather than gathered) fan front, as the pleats are easier to do on silk fabrics. So it isn't a technique limited to daywear 😊

The orange floral print bodice that was made in 1847 (seen at 4:41) do you happen to remember where this was photographed? I really want to see more of it! its absolutely swoon worthy!

I know how outlandishly ridiculous this request is, and if you don't remember off the top of your head please don't bother yourself with tracking it down again (I'm perfectly capable of it but if you do remember, why not save a few hours :) )

You're welcome! I find that reliable websites from which to order reproduction cotton prints are MaggieMayFashions.com and ReproductionFabrics.com If you're looking on ebay or etsy for out of print yardage, search for Marcus Brother, Windham, and Sturbridge Village brand fabrics.
