Reposted from @katestrasdin For the @vamuseum exhibition Bags Inside Out, this dress is merely a canvas for the mid-19th century chatelaine with its many attachments to the waistband. The garment is a reproduction, a suggestion of a dress on which the beautifully crafted metalwork is suspended #handbags #chatelaine #19thcenturydesign #19thcenturystyle #19thcenturyfashion #metalwork #mid19thcentury #fashionexhibition #calicodress #fashionresearch #museumexhibition #bagsinsideout #dresshistory #fashionhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CL2vMwchW6s/?igshid=1g3couumpniyt

Volume needs structure- one of the key elements in achieving the proper Civil War era silhouette is a proper hoop skirt made with sturdy German steel boning. #periodcorsetscatalog #hoopskirt #civilwarfashion #mid19thcentury #historicalcostuming #historicalsilhouette #littlewomencostumes (at Seattle, WA) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8cM8N0l2ih/?igshid=192wrtrf6gyd4
