panoramic domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later.

The copper/purple bodice is modified from Truly Victorian TV428.
]]>Love that book! My post here is on Victorian construction versus more Edwardian/early 20th century that is discussed in that book. So between that description of sewing the bodice and my post it depends on what time period you are sewing. Yes, starting in the late 1890s linings were made separately from the bodice then the lining whipped in. You can read more about linings in this post.
For sewing the lining and fashion fabric together, that is what I call “flatlining”, which you can read about in this post.
]]>No rule of thumb. Could be to provide more support for stress points (like the waist area). Or could simply be the dressmaker’s lack of proficiency in putting in evenly spaced buttonholes. 😉
]]>I’ve not seen side closures in the Victorian bodices (1830s onward) until the evening bodices of the 1890s when draping was added. Even then, linings still closed at front or back with the plackets and other drapes fastened toward the side(s). A full side closure was not done, from my research, until early Edwardian years (after 1900). Then, side closures were much more common.
