Fadgett & Daughters

By Appointment to the Shuttered Palace.

Delightful New Collection of 1895

Corsetted Dress

“Enough whalebone and sprung steel to stop a blade. Does wonders for the figure, too.”

Formidable Gown

“Propriety so stiff one could beat a presumptuous maid with it.”

Respectable Grey Gown

“Suitable for a lady of restraint and dignity, or a gentleman of highly specialised tastes.”

Elegant Emerald Gown

“The exact shade of the green ray that haunts the sunset. So they say. All greens are a little subdued by gas-light, but this does rather well.”

Magnificent Midnight-Blue Evening Gown

“A masterpiece of twilit sophistication.“

Exquisite Ivory Gown

“Wear with care: this may inspire envy to a dangerous degree.“

Parabola-Linen Frock

“Flax grows beside the river where nightmares spawn. This gown was spun from those fibres, and a sunset light glows through the fabric, as if through fog. The effect is striking, if eery.“

New fits for my Fallen London OC!

My love of historical womenswear was how I first learned of FL in the first place. So of course I'm going all out when it comes to my OC Silvia's wardrobe!

When I first started playing, I opted for a late 1880s look, as I wasn't sure what year exactly the action took place in. Upon finding out that it's 1899 (and indeed, has been for some time), a redesign was in order.

Silvia's daytime suit is adapted from this 1899 fashion-plate from Le Costume Moderne, specifically the cut at the top left. I added a cravat-inspired neck bow to make it a bit more androgynous. And of course, Silvia's hat is adorned with fungi rather than flowers.

Silvia's evening gown is a loose interpretation of this 1899 French piece from the Met's Costume Institute. Irises are my favorite flower, and I love art nouveau nature motifs, so I couldn't resist!

Of course, these are much nicer garments than what a low-level character could afford--particularly the evening gown. Perhaps a patron at court lent Silvia the gown when she showed up to a ball in a ghastly item from the last decade?
