The bust is high and the skirt is wide. The front of the underskirt is decorative and often a tied or pinned on triangular piece rather than a full skirt. The over sleeves, often lined in fur or velvet are folded back to display a set of large decorative foresleeves which tie into the gown’s oversleeve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1637206662125-CT23X5GZ1OIHZHC9P4QX/Spanish+Farthingale.png Tudor Gown - Undergarments This image, drawn by Jean Hunnisett, shows the common undergarments of the period. The upper body and bust were supported by a set of stays, or pair of bodies. The purpose of this garment was support rather than constriction. The skirt is supported by a conical Spanish farthingale. The boning used in these garments was often bundles of thin reeds, called bents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638295492561-F6LQIO107FOHX4QBBDWU/dress6a.png Tudor Gown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638295500957-4DY49EMSYR57Z0V6MS7A/dress6b.png Tudor Gown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638295515048-8K1GM23VDRKTNZMWUKJ5/dress6c.png Tudor Gown https://www.kyleschellinger.com/elizabethan-gown daily 0.75 2021-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638151905149-8CFFYEMUSO4H0QLZXQY2/dress2a.png Elizabethan Gown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638151920738-S4YPQYFJ9CIV959JNPOY/dress2c.png Elizabethan Gown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638151924307-46ID6PN9SUY8VIQTOO0L/dress2d.png Elizabethan Gown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638151909488-HGRJFYCMGY4SWGNV8I1C/dress2b.png Elizabethan Gown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1637528340106-L024ZY6WYXFOXEJ0EBEI/Ditchley+Portrait+by+Marcus+Gheeraerts+the+Younger+1592.jpg Elizabethan Gown - Inspirational Image Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger (Flemish, 1561-1636).

These came in several shapes and sizes. Some were large and encircled the whole lower body extending to the mid-calf or ankle. Others, such as those pictured above took the form or pocket hoops, and were smaller and much easier to wear. The stays of the period lifted the bust and formed the upper body into a triangular shape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1637528267338-8CYRM5G4YSJKL9EPC139/Robe_%C3%A0_la_Fran%C3%A7aise_MET_DT207671.jpg Robe à la Française - Inspirational Image A front and back view of two robes à la française mounted and on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638295084559-F6U8WTIINMLEOLXRXQ0D/ralff.JPG Robe à la Française https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638295093782-0HBOY5PWI10AA0O1WLCT/dress5b.png Robe à la Française https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638295099651-UPG732XXWU3E7BP02UVG/dress5c.png Robe à la Française https://www.kyleschellinger.com/evening-dress daily 0.75 2021-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638296726523-QW6HTE2Q16E7UPYZ5SD4/dress12a.png Evening Dress https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638296732530-09PFCTC81P0KYDHJCFA2/dress12b.png Evening Dress https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638296739793-2J6GCGFYKZ48OHADQCEA/dress12c.png Evening Dress https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1637528910935-5THN6019U9OSUW3Z00SC/1920s-DRESS-TIMELINE-eveningwear.jpg Evening Dress - Inspirational Image This image shows the shifts in evening fashions during the 1920s.

The yellow dress in this fashion illustration depicts the Robe de Style, which adheres to the dropped waist of the 1920s, while providing fullness at the side of the hips and more yardage in the skirt. The skirts were often supported with small paniers much like the fashions of the 18th century. https://www.kyleschellinger.com/wedding-ensemble daily 0.75 2021-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638294903179-JIIF5D95K09A1FOYERPS/dress4a.png Wedding Ensemble https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638294920114-G2SMKI5FFJ73JJ1Q5WK3/dress4b.png Wedding Ensemble https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638294929314-BTTVWPD1YHDUQ5BSX2XU/dress4c.png Wedding Ensemble https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638152327547-OOPDLLDXD86U4B7ULF6F/262134243_857962928173112_3055712971841785516_n.jpg Wedding Ensemble https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1637528814638-5TKM6TNVINAVFDBCY2QK/Front.jpg Wedding Ensemble - Inspirational Image Front View This ensemble, possibly of French origin, is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Very little is known about its designer, maker, or original use. I have suggested its use as a wedding ensemble. Following the wedding of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1840, the white wedding gown for the wealthy became increasingly popular. Most fashionable weddings were held in the morning, so the elbow length sleeves and high neckline would be appropriate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1637528815023-00VAA8H558IGMNOCH4M2/Side.jpg Wedding Ensemble - Inspirational Image Side View The train, while popular for fashionable dresses was appropriate for any time of day, could be looped up to a shorter length for walking. Its released length coupled with a day bodice, however, leads me to believe that this was a special occasion dress, most likely for a wedding. The train would have been supported and protected by a removable dust ruffle called a balayeuse. This would be made from a harder wearing and washable fabric, and would either button or tack into the train. It would also add weight to the train, keeping it appropriately spread out and assist with movement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1637528814398-PS93A9B17X0WV5JJHA8Q/Side+Back.jpg Wedding Ensemble - Inspirational Image Back View The bodice and skirt are two separate pieces. Another bodice with shorter sleeves and a lower neckline could have been made to match the skirt for evening wear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1637528836307-V8QA6B1BK6BVR80ANP9J/hq720.jpg Wedding Ensemble - Undergarment The late 1860s into the mid 1870s was a transitional period in silhouette and decoration. The round hoops of the early 1860s began to shift toward the back becoming more elliptical, and by the early 1870s became a highly structured bustle with lower round hoops to support the skirt hem. Decoratively, more ruffles, pleating, flounces, and bows began to fill the expanse of the skirt.

Multiple stiffly starched petticoats could be worn as could a corded petticoat, as shown above. The stays of the period lowered and separated the bust by means of a stiff busk. It was still a supportive garment. Sleeves of the period ballooned to huge proportions and also needed support. These supports took the form of pillows or small cages that tied to the straps of the stays. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1637528711927-EJMIXTP276OMZFAM6ELL/tumblr_31c840b9b6f416eca1c1f6d91255ce16_d023c61b_1280.jpg Morning Dress - Historical Image The pelerine collar was a highly fashionable accessory of the 1830s. They could match the dress fabric, or be made of various light cottons and laces. Their width emphasized the sloped shoulder and the fashionably huge sleeves. https://www.kyleschellinger.com/promenade-ensemble daily 0.75 2021-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638296423135-IAO37NSSDNF9BJV25IHB/dress10a.png Promenade Ensemble https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638296428268-L8KEX35KPN5INOVVE4GH/dress10b.png Promenade Ensemble https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1638296433196-1TOVGSV9247WWATO2229/dress10c.png Promenade Ensemble https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1637530291066-I3LYAB5QIWS9DQE2KP05/1436981791dbd05e75d4b0425b2192ea.jpg Promenade Ensemble - Inspirational Image 1 An illustration by Janet Arnold for her book Patterns of Fashion 2. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b42acbf9d5abbdb04a19100/1637530098074-9QTESJ8KYRTBOWDBS4KJ/19748685_10106456516446182_1533224235350058550_n.jpg Promenade Ensemble - Inspirational Image An ensemble of roughly the same design of unknown origin held in the collections of the McClung Museum, University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
