Today Heather, Emily and I visited the costume store to see what underwear was available for us to use. We found a broad range of corsets that would be suitable for cutting on a stand. We also found some crinolines and peticoats that will also come in handy for our projects! We found out from Bunny that we do not have to worry about deposits as the pieces will be staying in the department. It also means that we can go to her as and when we need to sign different bits in and out and not have to worry about booking certain times to see her and the costumes.
I need to now measure my chosen model and makesure I have enough wadding to pad out the mannequin to atleast one dress size bigger so that when the corset is pulled in tight, a suitable shape is created.
These are some pictures of what we found!
Peti-coats.
Corsets.
Crinolines.
Bustles and bum pads.
A variety of corsets and stays, all creating slightly different shapes and different styles that sit differently on the body.
By looking at the different garments I realised the amount of garments the ladies of this era would've worn. I really enjoy history and I am really enjoying researching into the period aswell as the fashion.
