However, be aware that by wearing a stuffed form (even if you cheat and use a pillow) it may be hard to sit down. The back won’t be the issue but rather the bustle and skirts pushing up above the waist when […]

That was so helpful! Thank you very much.
I’d read the page on Constructing a Victorian Bustle Dress, but had forgotten it existed. 😉 I found the ‘Cotton Fabrics for Bustle Foundation Skirts’ page very useful too. The whole matter of making these dresses is certainly seeming less confusing and impossible as a result!
I think the Bustle Day Dress class sounds like an excellent idea. Thanks very much.

Have you read the articles I have on bustle fabrics and flatlining? You can find links on this summary page. Sitting comes naturally when wearing clothing you make. Some squash can’t be helped. Vinegar can help a little. For even more specific detail help with your dresses I’d recommend my Bustle Day Dress Class with which we have a private Facebook group where others can chime in besides getting my help on your project.

I’ve finished my Regency gown and my 1893 dancing dress, and had great fun at the events to which I wore them. Next year the Victorian Ball sub-theme is Natural Form, and to my surprise I want to go with it. It would be a great learning experience; and I found that it’s lots of fun when lots of people dress according to the theme.. I want to make two dresses: a silk ballgown and a cotton day dress. I’m especially concerned about squashing the life out of any flounces and trimmings on my day dress when I sit down. What might you recommend?
Thanks!
Yours confusedly,
Anna
