Underwear: The Fashion History by Alison Carter (New York: Drama, 1992) Few things capture people's attention like a corset... even if it's empty. I certainly wouldn't have captured anyone's attention with this bare wall, but what follows is a plan to make it a little more exciting. I intend to draw a clothes line were victorian undergarments are pinned along it - my reference books and inspiration for this project. Support and Seduction: A History of Corsets and Bras by Beatrice Fontanel (New York: Abrams, 1997) You may remember this photograph from a past Valentine's post. There's nothing like an actual photograph for accuracy. Support and Seduction: A History of Corsets and Bras by Beatrice Fontanel (New York: Abrams, 1997) On my clothes line will hang a Victorian bra. The ad above shows what is probably the first sports bra. Described as perfect for the ladies who practice tennis and horseback riding, ideal to wear under light clothing and bathing suits. Underwear: The Fashion History by Alison Carter (New York: Drama, 1992) Also hanging, a frilly knickerbocker and chemisette. Underwear: The Fashion History by Alison Carter (New York: Drama, 1992) No room on the line for crinolettes and crinolines... Underwear: The Fashion History by Alison Carter (New York: Drama, 1992) ...but black hosiery, certainly. Do click on the images to enlarge and read the descriptions - priceless. Underwear: The Fashion History by Alison Carter (New York: Drama, 1992) Sorry, but long-johns just did not make the cut. Above is a rough sketch of my Victorian clothes line. I added white gloves even if they're not undies, but I bet they were always being laundered. I cut out the pieces of garments. I drew a scaled version of my laundry wall. Used my cut-outs to move them around along the clothes line, to find the right positioning. And drew the Victorian undergarments directly on to the sheet. This will be my reference guide for when I'm ready to paint them on the wall.

Very elegant vintage Laura Ashley ballgown dress in luxurious black cotton velvet with a huge dark greeny/slate tonic gold bow and train. Looks 1980s but I think likely 1990s. It is a size UK 8. Full length but just right so that you don't have to hitch it when walking. I am five foot 5 inches plus my Blahnik kitten heeled boots for a guide. So I'd say shoe length which is ideal not to trip up in! A stunning and very elegant design, what I love most about gowns like this, is the decadent rigs you can wear underneath and nobody would know heh heh. So I chose some bloomers and faux stocking tights on this occasion, which was to play the unfaithful harlot Molly from the song 'Whiskey in the Jar' who sells out her dashing and faithful highwayman lover? For the considerable reward there was on highwaymen perhaps? Or highway women - Katherine Ferrers was a noblewoman who may have worn a gown like this but was also a highway robber! The movie Wicked Lady with Margaret Lockwood 1945 based on her. Anyway I do all four characters in this so my pronouns will be they/them heh heh for this. I don't play the devil that's AI art but of course he'd be identifying as a British redcoat at the time! Wicked Lady indeed.... "I took all of his money And it was a pretty penny I took all of his money Yeah, and I brought it home to Molly She swore that she loved me No, never would she leave me But the devil take that woman Yeah, for you know she tricked me easy..." Oh Molly how could you see your love in ball and chain? Yeah we know the devil took ya....and you sure have the gown for such devilment , though was Laura Ashley craftmanship not his! Very figure hugging and boned in front., but the real seduction is in when you wiggle in dance that bow and train mesmerizing enchanting and well I would say divine but I def think the other side has more to do with it....heh heh. You will have a ball in it. You can see the rest of the video which is in 2 parts full length, on my Instagram
