Getting dressed in 1774 with Felicity and Elizabeth

Getting dressed in the 18th century was a lot of work for women and girls! They used many layers of clothing to create a fashionable outfit. Felicity Merriman and her best friend Elizabeth Cole are here today to show you how it's done.

I made everything seen here, excluding both of their dresses, shoes, stockings, garters, Felicity's shift, and Felicity's nightgown and cap.

Felicity wears a comfy white night shift to bed, and her lappet cap ties under her chin.

But for everyday use, Felicity starts with a simple shift as the first layer of clothing.

For good posture, she wears laced stays.

The stays lace up tightly in the back.

Next is a full-length petticoat, to provide more shape to her skirt.

Pocket hoops give her dresses the right fullness.

They're called pocket hoops because the have slits at the top so that they can be used as pocket.

Felicity usually just puts things in this pretty embroidered pocket, which she can reach through the slits in the sides of her dresses.

That's the last of her undergarments. Now for the finishing touches!

She ties back her hair with a white satin ribbon, and puts on her lucky coral bead necklace.

She wears knee-length white wool stockings held up with garters that her mother wove with a sweet message. Her black leather shoes are single lasted, meaning they fit on either foot.

She puts on her white round-eared cap for modesty, ties her drawstring purse around her wrist, puts on her favorite gown, and she's all done! Now to go out in the world and cause some absolutely hilarious chaos with.......

.... her best friend, Elizabeth!

Elizabeth's undergarments are pretty similar to Felicity's, but there are a few differences.

Instead of hoops, Elizabeth wears a bumroll tied around her waist, to achieve lift at the back of the skirt. And her stays go over the shoulder as well.

She wears knitted white stockings and a pair of white shoes that match her prettiest gown.

Instead of a round eared cap like Felicity's, Elizabeth wears this lacy pinner cap with a pink bow.

She's dressed up for her sister Annabelle's engagement party. I do wish she had been given a more casual dress for her meet outfit, like she wears in all of Felicity's books. But even this dress is improved with the bulk and shape of her undergarments!

One of the most interesting things to me is the reason I can (usually) tell point de gaze and Alençon needle lace apart is not because of the difference in stitches (which there *are*)—but the difference in designs. Alençon frequently uses a cohesive pattern featuring one, maybe two, types of motifs. Point de gaze tends to value ‘fineness’ or ‘opulence’ over ‘cohesion’. I’m somewhat curious how that would’ve impacted point de gaze’s development if it had more time to evolve (it’s heyday only lasted a couple decades).

(There was a third point de gaze example but I couldn’t figure out how to describe it)

Late 18th Century Lookbook, Part One

This is meant to be set in the 1760s. I'm also forcing myself to work with EAXIS' meshes and stop mentally complaining about them not being stitch-perfect. (Well, I did cheat a tiny bit with the hat, which is a TS4 conversion based off a TS3 store item. And of course the makeup and skin and eyes and hair textures and fichu accessory aren't from EAXIS...)

Anyways, this is a very proper look for a very proper lady; perhaps she's off to tea. All that's missing is a set of mitts--I need to go on the hunt for some.

Point de Neige needlepoint lace

Venetian, circa 1650

There are several pieces of finely detailed needlepoint lace in the textile collection at Chatsworth. The needlepoint technique used on this panel is known as Point de Neige, so called because of the delicate design's resemblance to snowflake crystals. This type of lace was made from the 1650s to 1710 as lappets and other costume trimmings, worn by both men and women as a mark of wealth and status.

Persy couldn’t help but feel amused at the sight of so many girls all walking together with their feathers and trains over their arms, the required lace lappet headdresses fluttering in the breeze of their passage, their pale-colored dresses differing but somehow still looking almost identical. “We look like a flock of birds migrating south for the winter,” Pen whispered to her. “Birds or lemmings about to go over a cliff?” she replied through stiff lips. “Don’t be ghoulish.”

His email reaction:

Subject line: I prefer these mice, thank you.

Body: In the time of swords and periwigs and full-skirted coats with flowered lappets - when gentlemen wore ruffles, and gold-laced waistcoats of paduasoy and taffeta - there lived a tailor in Gloucester.

Remember my boss who collects egg coddlers and watches Bridgerton?

He walked by me yesterday and greeted me with “Hey, Trouble!”

The nerve.

Coif

1550s-1600

This coif is made of fine linen, gathered into a small needle lace roundel at the top, and with very long lappets which are integral and which taper gradually to a point. It is decorated with horizontal bands of cutwork with needle lace fillings, and edged with small triangular needle lace motifs, each one finished off with a tiny trefoil. Nothing is known about how the coif was preserved before it entered the Museum's collection in the 1960s, and the survival of such a fragile object, intended to be functional even though it is so decorative, is rare. The needle lace which decorates it is Italian in style, and similar to designs published in Venetian pattern books of the 1590s. The overall shape of the coif, however, with its long lappets, is Flemish. Italian pattern books for lace circulated in Flanders, and the coif may well have been made there.
