Although fashion did not embrace the look of trousers on the female form until the late 20th century, history saw working women wearing them a hundred years prior. From Victorian coal miners who rolled up their skirts around their waist to reveal soot-covered pants underneath to today’s terrible backlash of factory-torn denim, spandex jeggings, and bedazzled bums, women’s pants have undergone quite a transformation. Let’s take a look at the early fashion of women’s pants from the festooned Victorian era right on through to the ultra glamorous 1930s.

ORDER A CUSTOM JACKET! I'm taking now a limited number of custom orders on jackets and tops. The photos above are examples of my previous works, to give you an idea / guideline. I'm making these jackets (also bloomers and dresses) out of the finest antique and vintage Irish linen damask tablecloths. Some are from the late 19th century, some as "new" as the 1950s, but most were woven in the 1920s / 30s. The quality of these old fabrics is so much superior to any modern linen - they have a beautiful fluttery drape, smooth pearly texture, and intricate woven patterns: florals, figurative or geometric patterns. They are extremely heard-wearing too, you can pass these garments on to future generations. With each purchase of a repurposed old linen garment you will help the environment, also give a new life to these amazing products of the historical Irish linen industry. PLEASE MESSAGE ME FIRST to discuss your particular preferences (fabric, size, design, colour, price etc.). Processing time can take 1 to 3 weeks. I use fiber-reactive, colourfast low-impact dyes - either before or after construction. Let me know your desired colour and I will try to match it as close as possible. Wherever possible, i use original antique / vintage lace and embroidery for decoration.

This is a DIGITAL sewing pattern for r a late Victorian blouse or day bodice, worn between 1890 and 1900. This sewing pattern shows a blouse or bodice, modeled after extant examples and fashion plates from around 1890 with large puff sleeves. The blouse is mounted on a firm and tight fitting lining with boned seams as usual at that time. The lining is cut curved at the center front to get some extra width at the bust level and is closed edge to edge with hooks and eyes, covered by a plastron. The plastron is sewn on at the right side, with the edge covered by the fashion fabric of the front. The other side is closed layered underneath the fashion fabric with hooks or snap fasteners (invented around 1885). A waistband at the inside prevents the blouse from sliding up. The blouse has a little peplum at the back and is intended to be worn in the skirt, actually with a matching belt - included in the pattern.

L'histoire du port de Sophie - 1899 Veste française motif E Tour de poitrine de 30 po. à 46 po., le tout dans un paquet. Cette fiche produit est un patron de couture imprimé professionnellement sur du papier grand format qui vous est envoyé par la poste. --- DESCRIPTIF --- ~ Niveau intermédiaire supérieur à avancé ~ Une veste élégante, datant de 1899, idéale pour les looks de la fin de l'époque victorienne, du début de l'époque édouardienne et steampunk. Cette veste a un col Médicis évasé avec des pétales, des poignets circulaires et un ourlet festonné. La veste peut être rehaussée de rangées de surpiqûres. En laine, en lin ou en coton, il conviendra à la fois aux femmes à la mode et aux aventurières. Ce modèle est paru à l'origine dans La Mode illustrée en 1899. Bien qu'il soit basé sur un modèle original et bien que ce modèle suive de très près la silhouette d'origine, ce modèle a fait l'objet d'améliorations significatives pour le rendre plus convivial pour les couturières d'aujourd'hui. Ce modèle a été rectifié par rapport au modèle d'origine et comprend l'ajout de tailles multiples, de marges de couture, de lignes de grain, d'encoches, de pièces de parement et de repères de modèle qui n'étaient pas inclus à l'origine. Ce modèle a été complété par mes illustrations et mon texte pour faciliter la compréhension de la construction de base et sur mesure. Des instructions de base sur la doublure sont incluses, mais ne sont pas détaillées. Si vous souhaitez plus d'instructions sur la couture ou la doublure, il est suggéré de compléter ce modèle par un livre qui explique la construction d'un vêtement sur mesure. IL EST TRÈS IMPORTANT DE FAIRE UNE MAQUET POUR TESTER L'AJUSTEMENT ET LA CONSTRUCTION DU MOTIF AVANT DE DÉCOUPER VOTRE TISSU MODE. La coupe et la construction de ce vêtement sont plus complexes que celles de la majorité des vêtements fabriqués aujourd'hui. Testez la construction et ajustez d'abord dans une maquette de tissu bon marché, car la coupe et la construction des vêtements du 19e siècle sont tellement différentes de celles des vêtements d'aujourd'hui. La coupe n'a pas changé par rapport au matériau d'origine du 19e siècle. Il a été conçu à l'origine pour être porté par-dessus les fonds de teint d'époque, y compris les corsets. La coupe du vêtement fini, cependant, n'a pas le rapport buste/taille exagéré de nombreux vêtements d'époque et peut facilement être ajustée pour porter une tenue moderne, sans corset, dans la phase de maquette - DIMENSIONS - Toutes les tailles ci-dessous sont incluses dans ces fichiers de modèles électroniques. Ce modèle était conçu pour être très ajusté sur la poitrine. Très peu d'aisance est incluse si vous voulez plus d'aisance ou si vous souhaitez le porter par-dessus un chemisier complet, pensez à prendre une taille plus grande. Tour de poitrine 30 - 32 - 34 - 36 - 38 - 40 - 42 - 44 - 46 Tour de taille : 24 - 26 - 28 - 30 - 32 - 34 - 36 - 38 - 40 Ce modèle est conçu pour être très ajusté à la taille et a très peu d'aisance.

Edwardian fashion was characterized by the new S-bend corset and pouter pigeon shape. It was an era of luxury with elegant dresses and expensive fabrics.
Last weekend I had the very good fortune to attend a truly marvelous, and aptly named, Epic Titanic Party. Imagine an evening spent in a pleasant and tastefully decorated home with great company, good conversation, sparkling dresses, lots of champagne, and a mind-blowing and utterly delicious thirteen course dinner. After the dinner all the guests changed into appropriate 1912 lounge wear, and, well... lounged. And chatted. And drank more champagne and absinthe before tumbling into bed. (I am not too proud to admit that I didn't even get to a bed, but instead crashed right on the floor where I awoke the following morning.) I can't begin to describe how perfect everything was and can never thank our host, Jenny-Rose, enough for all of her amazing effort in pulling it off so splendidly. What I can somewhat describe, however, is my dress. I've always really liked 1912 as a time period and welcomed the excuse to finally make a dress from this era. I liked nearly every extant dress or illustration or fashion print that I saw, but none of them jumped out as The Dress. More than any other dress though, I was inspired by this pink one belonging to Queen Maud: In the end it was easier to not let myself be bound by trying to reproduce a garment, and I eventually simply bought fabric and then fit a design to the materials I had. The embroidered fabric is an amazing vintage Dupatee which I found on ebay... a purple/burgandy crinkle silk chiffon with gold emboidery and sequins and tiny green and red glass beads. I then purchased a plain silk chiffon in a matching color, and layered them over a base of congac/paprika/burnt orange silk charmeuse. Burgandy velvet also decorates the skirt and is used for the bow on the front of the dress. The charmeuse foundation of the dress is patterned from the 1910 dress in Janet Arnold, and the other layers were simply draped on top. I can't even begin to imagine trying to flat pattern these sorts of dresses... I don't really have much to say about my lounging "harem" outfit which followed dinner except that I threw it together the morning of the event, and from start to finish it was done in well under an hour. Good times...
Buy the 203 Edwardian Underthings sewing pattern from Folkwear. Three charming "unmentionables" from the Edwardian bride's trousseau. The camisole, petticoat, and drawers make lovely undergarments or the prettiest summer outerwear. The Camisole's bodice is accentuated by clusters of tucks and optional lace insertions. Slightly high-waisted and fitted in back, it is bloused in front, with soft gathers falling from ribbon beading of lace or eyelet edging. The camisole closes with drawstrings at the neck and waist, and a buttoned front opening. The gored Petticoat falls to a wide flounce over a dust ruffle at the hemline. The drawstring waist ties at a back placket opening. The petticoat may be easily shortened for contemporary wear. The knee-length Drawers, or "knickers", gathered at the curved waistband, are constructed with a front gusset and two buttoned side plackets. They are finished with ruffles at the knees. The Petticoat and Drawers are also decorated with tucking and/or lace or eyelet. The pattern includes instructions for crocheted edging, lace insertion, and decorative embroidery stitches.

Before the advent of designer activewear, women’s sportswear ranked low on the list of fashion priorities. But a new exhibition demonstrates that sporting attire has long been a valuable tool for self-expression and an important path towards greater liberation.
The Victorian era was an interesting time for boys' and girls' fashion. Victorian children's clothing for middle and upper classes were smaller versions of adult clothing with shorter hemlines and sturdier materials. Poor children wore simplified hand me down versions of outdated rich kids' clothing. Boys and girls wore white gowns as infants and toddlers,
From 1837 to 1901, Victorian fashion underwent many changes, it was characterized by elaborate, detailed designs and an emphasis on the silhouette.
‘For those who are convinced of the harmfulness of the corset, a variety of articles called corset-waists are made.’ (Beauty: Its Attainment And Preservation, 1896) In the late Victorian and Edwardian era, some women preferred to wear a health corset. Health corsets had a button closure at the center front instead of the typical steel … Continue reading Edwardian Health Corset – “Good Sense” Corset Waist →
