The Victorian 1880s fashion decade marked the end of the bustle era. To understand fashion during this decade, you must begin in the mid-1870s, where the bustle was still large but the bodice was forming a new style that would last the next 15 years. Upper-class women embraced these new fashions, while the poor and

The July 1914 issue of McCall’s magazine coincided with the start of World War I. From this point on, there were many changes in women’s fashion as
Vintage fashion publications mainly displayed fashion plates; however some of them also showed furniture plates on occasion. After all ones home style was just as important as one's own appearance. I enjoy seeing period furnishings and when they are in the same style of the fashion plates they accompany; they make handy accents for creating digital scenes. Many time you can mix and images found from the late 18th through the early 20th centuries when the figures are similarly fashioned. I'm a fan of toy theaters and backgournds in general; so some of my favorites furniture plates are those showing parts of a room, since these can make great backgrounds for a scene. "On Dit" - The Latest Gossip A lady and her lord sharing a bit of the latest gossip that has just arrived in a letter. I used a "room" furniture plate from a March 1787 issue of "Magasin des Modes Nouvelles, Francaises et Anglaises". The fashion figures are from various other French fashion publications from the late 18th century. The lady can be found HERE The lord can be found HERE And I've even used an image of an oriental carpet between the rooms. I've taken several of my favorite furniture plate images and altered them for use in future projects so there will be several color options for some of them toward the end of this post. I hope you enjoy the selection. 1786-1789 Furniture Plates Most are from "Magasin des Modes Nouvelles, Francaises et Anglaises" but the 1786 plates are from "Cabinet Des Modes ou Les Modes Nouvelles" Feb 1786 - from "Cabinet Des Modes ou Les Modes Nouvelles" Feb 1786 - from "Cabinet Des Modes ou Les Modes Nouvelles" June 1786 - from "Cabinet Des Modes ou Les Modes Nouvelles" ***** January 1787 - "Magasin des Modes Nouvelles, Francaises et Anglaises" Here are a few of my color versions based on the above original EKDuncan color version - Rose EKDuncan color version -Green EKDuncan color version -Peach EKDuncan color version -Periwinkle EKDuncan color version -Blue EKDuncan color version -Aqua EKDuncan color version -Gold ***** March 1787 Room Furniture plate by "Magasin des Modes Nouvelles, Francaises et Anglaises" - Original colors I created a few color version based on the original just for a different look. EKDuncan color version - Raspberry EKDuncan color version - Plum EKDuncan color version - Gold ***** April 1787 - "Magasin des Modes Nouvelles, Francaises et Anglaises" Here are my EKDuncan versions based on the original Green and Silver Green and Gold Teal and Silver Brown and Gold Blue and Gold Mulberry and Gold Plum and Gold ***** May 1788 - Furniture Plate "room" from "Magasin des Modes Nouvelles, Francaises et Anglaises" October 1788 from "Magasin des Modes Nouvelles, Francaises et Anglaises" June 1789 from "Magasin des Modes Nouvelles, Francaises et Anglaises" November 1789 from "Magasin des Modes Nouvelles, Francaises et Anglaises" These vintage plates are not exactly like turning the pages on a glossy Home and Gardens magazine; however they are what the late 18th century lady had available at the time. I love their charm and view each as a miniature work of art that is pleasing to the eye while giving us a glimpse of what home decor items were popular in the 1780's. I've created two more scenes using more of the vintage furniture plates but in other color versions not seen here so check back a little later on to see what those look like. Till Next Time...
Here are a few fashion plates from the book "Classic French Fashions of the Twenties" which was published by Dover in 2012. The book features reproduction 1920s catalog pages from the artist Atelier Bachwitz. There are over 50 pages in the book but only a few are shown here since the book was recently published. I love that the drawings feature the front and back of each outfit, along with some very fabulous hats. I would recommend this book for those interested in 1920s fashions, the pages are nice a large (these pictures have been cropped) and the colors and patterns look great. book for sale in many places for around $20.00.

In Part IV of The Ideal WWI Figure, let’s look at how women with full busts achieved support and the fashionable silhouette of the period. Part I: The Ideal WWI Figure: a range of Ideals Part II: Breaking Down the Elements that Made the ‘Ideal’ figure Part III: The Changing Ideal Figure, 1913-1921 One of the most common questions I get asked about the Rilla Corset is how to wear it/what you do for bust support if you are very full busted, as it sits below the bust. To answer that question, let’s go back to the source, and look at period accounts, illustrations, and extant examples of bust supporting garments. There is no better way to find out how to support your bust then to see how it was actually done in period. As we’ve seen from looking at the figure ideals in the 1910s over the last three posts in the series, the ideal WWI bust, whether small or big, was low and drooping, rather than high and perky, as is the modern …
