1900s Winter sports – photoshoot

Published on February 4, 2015 by fashionthrougherstory2 Comments

I’d intended to go to the yearly 19th century ice skating meeting, in the capital, the first week of the new year.

But even though life happened, and I was unable to attend, I still had a vision of how cute my outfit would look. So I made plans for doing a ice skating photoshoot instead.

Well, despite three weeks of daily snow, the ice haven’t settled on the river by my house.
So, no ice skating, but at leas I managed to get a winter shoot of the costume.
Maybe I can go skating next year instead….

I’m wearing: My Suffragett skirt and shirtwaist, 1901s corset, modern jacket, glowes, faux fur scarf and my new fur hat (decorated with feathers and suffraget brosch).

poor little faux fox, out in the cold…

1840-1850s Winter Walk

Published on December 24, 2014 by fashionthrougherstoryLeave a comment

Despite the lack of snow, me and my sister decided to dress in mid 19th century gowns and take some winter (if not Christmasy) photos.

My sister is wearing the 1840s green plaid dress over my 1880s corset, a bridal hoop skirt, layers of petticoats and bloomers. Accessorized with an apron, bonnet and muff.

I’m wearing my brown paisley 1850s dress over my regency corset, cage crinoline, petticoats, bloomers and wide sleeved shirt. Accessorized with a white bonnet, gloves and faux fox fur.

1930s Christmas dress – photoshoot

Yesterday I did my hair, make-up and put on my 1930s Christmas dress, for the photoshoot.

I was a bit skeptical and a bit worried about getting any nice photos, since I didn’t like the fit of the dress at all.
But as my sister (photographer) said – “You seam to have lots of fun in this dress – perhaps you like it after all…”
And looking at the pics I can only say yes, I think I do.

Today I finally got the chance to take proper photos of my new Regency gown, which I wore to last weeks regency ball.

I think I did a pretty good job mimic the left ensemble.

Yellow 16th century Doublet – photoshoot

Published on September 29, 2014September 29, 2014 by fashionthrougherstory2 Comments

Yesterday I talked my sister into helping me with yet another photoshoot.

It was really windy outside, and I constantly needed to re-arrange my apron and bonnet. But I think we got some nice shoots anyway.

And yes, the doublet are a bit to smal for me, and I really need to press the pleats on the peplum down.

Robe a la Turque – photoshoot

Published on September 15, 2014 by fashionthrougherstory7 Comments

OK, first I feel I need to apologize to anyone who might be offended by these past posts very non political correct use of the word Turque.
I’m sorry, and please know that I do not mean anything by it, but simply uses the word as a name of the Turkish influences in fashion and society in 18th century.

And here are some pics of the outfit now known as “Robe a la Turque”

(Sport)Autumn Anglaise – Photoshoot

Published on September 8, 2014September 8, 2014 by fashionthrougherstory2 Comments

This picture post contains even more photos then usually, since I insisted on a second photshoot after I’d properly shortened the petticoat. You can actually see the skirts different lengths in many of these photos.

And once again a big thanks sis, for always helping me photograph and never complaining (even when I get frustrated at my own lack in modeling skills, and crappy wig work ;-)) I really appreciate it.
