]]>Hi Alex,
What a neat family history! I’ve not come across that manufacturer name in my research. If you have the city or area his workshop was located in I’d suggest digging holes in local papers there. Best of luck as you search! How exciting!
I was wondering if you might be able to help me with your fantastic historical clothing knowledge. I am trying to track down any images or information on my Great Great Grandfather’s dressing-gown company called ‘Ososki’ from around the 1830’s upto the l890’s. They were apparently very popular in England. I was wondering if you had come across any images with this name on? Many thanks indeed.

I’d recommend a good fitting bra if you won’t be wearing a corset. Even a sports bra with good lift and support will help keep the bust in place. You can see photos of my own tea gown here that I made and wore to my baby showers while pregnant. I only wore my usual modern bra with a Victorian petticoat. I have worn the gown once after my maternity time, and while it looked just fine, one could tell it wasn’t exactly a Victorian shaping around the bust area. It’s true the silhouette with a modern bra is indeed different than a proper corset. However, I’d encourage you to wear what you feel comfortable with. Best of luck with your tea gown project!
Glad to have helped your research!
