I’m currently making a late 1880s outfit and now I realize I need to add more trim to it. I think I love the early bustle period a hair more because I do love big hoop skirts. I also wanted you to know even in 2025 your article is still a wonderful resource of information!

It is a beautiful era of dress! But yes, very tightly fitted to the hips. But a woman can absolutely sit in these elaborate dresses! It is generally done by perching on the end of a seat rather than in the soft furniture and automobiles we have today. Today’s furniture does not match to Victorian fashion. 🙂

Take note that this is a drawing and not a dress on a real woman. So the artist took liberties with the fit of the dress. Moving and sitting in real clothing will move and shift when wearing. The cut of the skirt can be widened; however, the overskirt falling to the side or “open” shouldn’t be a big concern. That front overskirt hem could be tacked to the foundation skirt but then it may stress the stitching when walking and sitting. I’d recommend the overskirt to simply lie loose over the foundation skirt for movement. Do a search of photographs of women from the 1880s to see how they are sitting and standing in the photos and how the skirts are cut to their figure.

C’est une belle époque vestimentaire ! Mais oui, très bien ajusté aux hanches. Mais une femme peut tout à fait s’asseoir dans ces robes élaborées ! Cela se fait généralement en se perchant au bout d’un siège plutôt que dans les meubles rembourrés et les automobiles que nous avons aujourd’hui. Les meubles d’aujourd’hui ne correspondent pas à la mode victorienne. 🙂

Prenez note qu’il s’agit d’un dessin et non d’une robe sur une vraie femme. L’artiste a donc pris des libertés avec la coupe de la robe. Bouger et s’asseoir dans de vrais vêtements bougera et se déplacera lors du port. La coupe de la jupe peut être élargie ; cependant, la surjupe tombant sur le côté ou “ouverte” ne devrait pas être un gros problème. Cet ourlet de surjupe avant pourrait être fixé à la jupe de base, mais cela pourrait alors stresser les coutures lorsque vous marchez et que vous êtes assis. Je recommanderais que la surjupe soit simplement lâche sur la jupe de base pour le mouvement. Faites une recherche de photographies de femmes des années 1880 pour voir comment elles sont assises et debout sur les photos et comment les jupes sont coupées à leur silhouette.

Avis aux plus expérimentées:

Ce modèle que j’aime beaucoup me pose problème. Tel qu’il est, impossible de s’assoir!…Ou alors, la jupe est ouverte sur le devant (en dessous des fronces) ou peut-être y a-t-il des plis sur la couture du milieu dos de la jupe permettant les mouvements de la marche….A moins que c’est une gravure aux courbes exagérées et qu’il interpréter le modèle avec des mesures normales?…. Merci pour ce blog passionnant et généreux. from Belgium

You are exactly right that a particular slice of society would not approve of the extreme bustle shape/shaping. Just as fashion opinions range today…. Here’s another blog post that will show the “puffing up of the back side” isn’t just an 1870s thing.
