I would really like to use your post as a source for my historical investigation. I'm investigating to what extent was the fashion of women influenced by their position in the European society, and your post would be a wonderful source! However, I cannot find the date of publication anywhere. Would you be kind enough to let me know if you remember when you posted this?
Hi Judy Whitaker - no ladies, it's only me. Glad you enjoyed reading. It can be so much fun to delve into the history of clothing. Once you start reading, you realize how important clothing is, how costume says so much about historical context and the society of the time. You learn about how people lived, how they wanted to appear, their moral and religious beliefs, about the workplace, weather patterns, and trade.
A whole bunch of history wrapped up in a pretty dress!
Thank you ladies for all the information. I enjoyed it fully. I am making a skirt and cape for my 14 year old granddaughter designed after the Victorian age. I enjoyed this information. I have read so much since this project.

Melissa Campbell - I am glad that you found this article helpful. I started writing about historic fashion after years of reading up on the topic while reading period novels and trying to get a better eye for what the characters were wearing. Of course lots of novels feature working or middle class folks who would not be dressed in fabulous high fashion but would be wearing more comfortable garments.
As an aspiring nineteenth century novelist, I've found this site to be both invaluable as well as insightful. Thank you for sharing. For the sake of all of my fellow history buffs and myself. The practice has caused some controversy. Many such body modifications are still being practiced today.
Think of the earring plugs that are worn in increasingly large sizes to create large holes in the ear lobe right here in the USA. Of course poor women and lower class women wore more comfortable clothing during the Victorian period. If you had to work hard, the tight corseting and low shoulder lines that restricted arm movement got in the way of actual physical work! I thoroughly enjoyed this! I remember seeing an artificial skeletal structure of a female rib cage when I was on a field trip in high school.
The rib contortion, due to tight corseting, reminded me of the African tribe that wears rings around their necks to elongate them. Their necks only "look" elongated. The rings actually cause their clavicles and the ribs below them to bend downward. The clothing at least most of it was beautiful, but I'm sooooo glad I didn't have to wear those sorts of get-ups in my lifetime, lol. Thank you very much!!
I appreciate that nice comment!!!!! Kitkat - thank you for providing the information on Rose. I knew that she was a Confederate spy but did not recall the whole story. The image itself is quite poignant even if you don't know the story, don't you think? We look at so many of these old photos - having the background story really fills it out. They buried Rose in Wilmington, North Carolina and still is considered a southern hero. Pssst, if u didn't know the pic in of the woman and her daughter is a photo of Rose Greenhow and her daughter Rosie, nick-named little Rose in the old capitol prison in Washington D.
She was very good at her work and used tapestry stichings to give Union info to the South. She was discovered by Allan Pinkerton of the Pinkerton Detective agency and went under house arrest.
Later one of her tapestries were discovered and she went to prison with her little daughter going to. After her trial that spring she was deported to Richmond and was greeted by Jefferson Davis. Then she went to Europe, hoping to escape the harsh memories of the Civil War. On her way back, she boarded her ship called the Condor but when they were outside of Cape Fear North Carolina, a Union vessel stranded them on a sandbank. Rose asked the captian for a life boat, and, because there was a terrible storm, the life boat overturned and she drowned.
I went from here to your profile, read one of your hubs, now I can't stop thinking about waffles. I've sworn off waffles - they are dangerous to my physique. I often think of the discomfort of those times. I think I'd go for the Aesthetic look. They seem downright comfty as well as beautiful. I also love the Victorian houses and interiors. Lady - I bet they use tons of fabric, but it would be a lot of fun to create a beautiful Victorian dress! They also used to cut the hair from dead loved ones and use it to make jewelry with the woven hair. Oh well, waste not want not, haha.
Thanks for stopping by! I absolutely love this hub! Just before I joined HubPages, I was reading how women from the Victorian Era, collected their hair from their combs and brushes and saved them in what's called a Hair Keeper. I've actually seen these before, but didn't know what they were Other product and company names shown may be trademarks of their respective owners.

Questions must be on-topic, written with proper grammar usage, and understandable to a wide audience. For the sake of all of my fellow history buffs and myself , please share more of the same in the future. Dolores, I thoroughly enjoyed this! The ribs near the waist on the corseted female were bent as well, and profoundly so. Wr1t3r - thank you very much. Laine - thank you - glad that you enjoyed! I am fascinated by this kind of history.
