hi i might not post today because i am sort of upset so unless my friend posts and nulls this whole thing have this drawing i did !! it was inspired by an 1847 fashion plate
some attributes of the 1890s were
sleeves got much bigger, skirts got wider, the bustle disappeared.
art nouveau was big, think floral geometric patterns
in the middle of the decade skirts changed into trapezoidal shaped then changed into a more tulip shape.
1882 marked the start of the 2nd bustle era, but it wasnt exactly the same
one major difference is instead of gradually going down it formed what basically is a shelf.
everything was more earthy and geometric, the skirt wasnt trapezoidal
spoon bust corsets also came into fashion
by 1867 which was a transitional period the waist got higher but the skirts started getting more back volume and became more decorated
crinolines became crinolettes which then became bustles
in the 1860s the silhouette changed entirely, the waist grew higher than the natural waist line, buttoned bodices were in fashion and the crinoline became more accentuated towards the back.
in the 1850s crinoline was introduced, i have a seperate thread on that if youd like to read it but its different than the existing hoop skirts and panniers.
1850s skirts were ruffled and sleeves were wide pagoda sleeves, the waist dropped below natural form and they loved floral
in 1837 that changed, the skirts were back to floor length, the sleeve puffs moved downwards towards the elbow and everything decreased including the waist which hit its natural form in the late 1830s
below are 1830s fashion plates dated before 1837 so you can tell the difference between them.
before 1837 some attributes of the 30s were huge dresses, women wore multiple petticoats, skirts and sleeve supports etc it was intense
@homoparanoia perhaps the fact the bodice is not buttoned, which was in fashion in the 1860s and wouldve been more difficult to alter and the dress is patterned which was different then the 1860s the first two images are fashion plates from the 50s while the second two are from the 60s
