msmcknittington: Queenie from Blackadder (Default)
I've been thinking, with the plaid fabric is still on my dummy and me looking at it every day, that maybe I could drape the bodice over modern undergarments and then be able to wear it with jeans and a skirt.

Now, I may be smoking crack on this one, by simple virtue of the fact that the silhouette of modern undergarments is completely different from a corseted silhouette. A corset gives you a raised bustline and a smaller waist and a smoother line from waist to hips. A modern silhouette is . . . bulgier. But can it be done? Can a Victorian garment be made without a corset and then transition to modern wear?

I'm probably smoking crack.
