Detail of a fashion illustration by Paul Gavarni dated 19 March 1842: "Redingotte (sic) du matin. Gilet de cachemire et de piqué de Humann. - Chemises de Durousseau, chemisiers (sic) des princes."

There's something unsettling to me in a clean-shaven 1840s man with very short hair. You on the left with the white stock... knock it off.

"If your dear heart is wounded, my wild heart bleeds with yours!" (Carmilla – Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, 1872)

there are two things we see in this decade, that kind of have similar popularity at similar times – the large bustle extending outwards from the ass, and the "princess" style dress, where volume came from the hips. the princess style dress was kept closer to the body, and was almost – gasp – form fitting! how scandalous! necklines largely stayed high, at or above the collar, but when they dipped you would see them paired with velvet chokers or necklaces with a single gem pendant. both hats and bonnets were worn during this era, and the hairstyles moved from the gentle low updos of the 60s to more styled updos associated with the late victorian era.

1800-1809 / 1810-1819 / 1820-1829 / 1830-1839 / 1840-1849 / 1850-1859 / 1860-1869

cringe Terror Wife™️ posting⁉️🤨More likely than you think.

Also forgive me i loathe mid century fashion and hairstyles so stuff ain't gonna be late-1840s accurate 💀

But yeah Lemme marry Sir John so that someone can keep him in check and we can be dumb ass bitches together and i will remind him to take his old man Victorian meds😍🥰(sorry lady jane😔😔but it's my turn now)

Also something something she starts seeing his one-legged ghost back in London dragging himself around and screaming, leaving trails of blood everywhere after his death on the ice yippie😍

And then also "Bear Wife" where we pretend that Sir John starts having hallucinations as a result of lead poisoning, so he thinks he sees his wife out in the snow but wait oops she has the face of a polar bear??? which may or may not be an excuse to draw myself as a monster lady putting That Old Man in his place but shhhhhh

#terror wife posting #lets goooo #jojo simps #the terror #just. lemme at that old man i wanna tear him apart with my teeth👹😫💦

Sick and tired of the inaccuracies in Keeper fanart. The styles of elven gowns, jerkins, and other clothes clearly indicate that the elves adhere to the Western human fashions of the 1840s and 1850s. Despite this, I've noticed a lot of fanartists drawing characters with hairstyles from the wrong time period. As you all know, I care very much about canon, so I ask that you please do better in the future and draw the characters with the appropriate hair styles.

Wrong❌

Right✅

#(elven fashion actually is 1840s/50s. it doesn't look like these pictures because it's a different social class/occasion)#but that's a good time period if you're looking for drawing references for the gowns #kotlc

fuck it. casting sheet

[if scrooge 1951 but lesbians was a thing]

Nicola Coughlan as Ebba Scrooge

pretty and im gay. also i think she could do the cold sternness Sims does and the silly happy joy at the end. also pretty and im gay. would look older but still have the reddish hair. also let claire devlin be lesbian.

Suranne Jones as Jacobine Marley

mean butch fucks around and finds out. i feel like she could do the michael holdern wail really well. local scrooge seduced away from good, nice alice by shitty, dramatic butch. must keep past marley's gay little cape.

[CITATION NEEDED] as The Ghost of Christmas Past

okay i found this person on pintrest and their name is stuck behind a paywall :C but I feel like they have the cool ethereal vibe to play a past, and I feel like an all female/female coded cast would be interesting. womans wrongs? no womens rights scrooge.

[CITATION NEEDED] as The Ghost of Christmas Future

this is more for the general vibe but i think it'd be funny if present has the insanely ornate 1840s hairstyles. there's like a candle in there.

Future as Future

yeah

#a christmas carol #ebenezer scrooge #jacob marley #scrooge 1951 #future is coded in every which way #they can stay as they are

Bless the women who do video tutorials of 1840s hairstyles cos I have no idea what's going on with those buns.

Of course now that I have more of an understanding and have a new resolve to make Adelaide's buns more specific, she's gonna be wearing a bonnet for almost this whole scene anyway.

Another wonderful and adorable men's haircurling scene circa 1840 by Paul Gavarni, this one in high quality! (Paris Musées). Dated 1839-1841, in the "Students of Paris" series, the dialog goes something like:

How many papillotes are you going to give me, Nini? I'll have read the entire civil code!

Yes but, sweetie, you're going to look so nice!

He has papillotes on his lap, there are curling tongs and more papillotes on the floor. His hair is chin-length, showing how long men's hair is at this time, he's in his shirtsleeves—it's so intimate and cute.

eta: thanks to @daffenger and @sainteverge, who suggested a better translation of the dialog that makes it even more amusing: he's actually saying that they're about to run out of the civil code, which is being used to make his curl papers!

How did the Victorians/Edwardians approach the matter of skirt lengths/hairstyles for slightly older teenage girls (around 14-15)? I’d assume they weren’t old enough to have their hair completely up with floor/almost floor length dresses, but they must have been too old for shorter dresses and looser hairstyles

This is a great question!

Once the whole "short skirts and loose hair for little girls" thing became common practice, around the 1830s-1840s (I believe), preteens and young teenagers often wore roughly calf-length dresses stylistically in between younger children's clothing and that of adult women. They were more likely to have long hair than very young girls- who sometimes wore theirs short, depending on the specific decade and its trends -and often styled it half-up or in braids. Or just left it loose, sometimes, but that might be less practical for playing or doing chores.

(Unknown adolescent girl, 1860s. Short sleeves for day were sometimes more readily permitted on young girls. Note that her skirt, while long, doesn't reach the floor as an adult's would. Her hair appears to be back in a net, a style of that decade that transcended age boundaries. See also: mention in Little Women of 15-year-old Jo bundling her hair in a net to keep it out of the way, even before she's started wearing "adult clothing.")

(1885 pattern for a "jersey dress for girl 9-15 years." Sometimes the transition from short skirts to long could be less gradual than the 1860s image would indicate, and a girl might simply wear calf-length dresses from early adolescence until age 16. Within any social norm, you'll get a lot of variation.)

Sometimes you also see charts like this one from various publications:

(Godey's Lady's Book, April 1866. The "2-16" indicates that this is the "proper" length for a toddler, who usually wore long gowns regardless of gender, as well as a girl in her mid-teens.)

However, as I mentioned above, you see a lot of variation from decade to decade, and even within those individual decades. Not everyone would have seen a chart like the one pictured, nor held it as gospel. The only real Rule, that I've been able to find, was Girls Under ~16 Wear Shorter Skirts And Looser (Or Shorter) Hair Than Adults. Beyond that, while you generally see teens in skirts below the knee at least, there was a great deal of individual interpretation.

Hope this answers your question!

#ask #eleanorskys #dress history #victorian #edwardian #there were exceptions- adult women could wear short skirts for certain sporting activities or costume parties #and stage performance/modeling allowed for almost any sort of clothing not barred by public indecency laws #(for modeling sometimes even that wasn't an issue)#and there WERE grown women who chose to have short hair for whatever reason so that wasn't #automatically a Juvenile look #but in terms of everyday clothing for the majority of Victorian/Edwardian women and girls? this was The Way

How well different periods of Victorian women’s fashion would do as ghost outfits, according to my own heavily biased and completely arbitrary opinions:

1830’s

No. Are you kidding me? Look at those sleeves. You would be laughed right out of Ghosttown. The skirts are full, but they’re ankle length and floofy all the way around. (And again, the sleeves.) Combined with the hairstyles of the period, the overall effect is utterly ridiculous. I know some people love the 1830’s for their “whimsy” or “fun” but I just think they look silly. This was an entire decade where of sheer silliness and tomfoolery.

2/10

1840’s

Okay, improvement. We have tamed The Sleeves, thank heaven. The skirts are still fluffy, but not too fluffy, and a little longer, which helps a bit. Considering the general calmness of this period, it could work as a ghost outfit. The hairstyles have calmed down, any floof at the sleeves is down to a bishop sleeve, which could be a little nice and ghostly, and these dresses usually look a little simpler (although the amount of plaid that makes an appearance in this era is not helpful) and could make a nice classic ghost outfit. It’s not the best, but it’s not bad.

7/10

Crinoline Era

As the name suggests, this is the era of the Big Freaking Skirt. This is partially a positive (the DRAMA) and partly a negative. I’ve always thought of the 1850’s as the Sweet Lolita of the era, with all the floofy skirts and flounces and rows of ruffles. It calms down a bit by the early 1860’s, but it’s still a lot of big round floof. The flared pagoda sleeves of this era could be nice and ghostlike, but the overall frilliness and fringe rather detracts from the effect. Just like the 1840’s, it’s not the best, but it’s still not bad.

7/10

Crinolette Era

This era has some positives, one of those being that I like it and it will therefore be ranked rather highly. This was a short, transitional period, but it managed to get a lot of the positives of the former and following eras with few of the negatives. The sweet Lolita look is lost as the fullness of the skirts shifts towards the back, leading to the beginnings of the trailing, back-heavy skirts that dominate the later Victorian era. Now, I think that sweepy, trailing skirts are a great part of a ghost outfit, so this is a huge positive. We still have dramatic sleeves, and the trim is a bit more sedate, but the skirt is still a little bulky for optimal ghosting.

8/10

1st Bustle Era

(Fashion plate because it was strangely hard to find a good extant dress)

Now we’re getting somewhere. Skirts that sweep dramatically behind the wearer? Perfect ghost clothes. Other than that, there’s not a ton to say. We’re not quite in trains always all the time territory, but they do show up, and that’s always a nice addition. There’s plenty of frills and ruffles to drift dramatically about. And I’m definitely not biased because this is my favorite period or anything.

10/10

Natural Form

Now, here we have some positives and negatives. On the plus side, we have trains. Lots of trains. Basically all the time. And a train is always a positive for a ghost outfit. However, with the lack of as much of a significant bustle, the effect of the train sweeping behind is muted by being only on the floor. And with the way the dramatic sweeping skirts are less dramatic, the effect is reduced. Additionally, I think the long-fitting cuirass bodice also dampens the drama of a good sweeping skirt, although that may just be my personal dislike of them poking through.

7/10

2nd Bustle Era

This one is an improvement on the natural form if only by the presence once again of a large, pronounced bustle. Also, it’s not shown on the example, but there are plenty of trains in this era, so we can have the best of both worlds. Other than that, there’s not a ton to say. It’s not optimal (my nemesis the cuirass bodice appears again >:( ) but it’s pretty good.

9/10

The 1890s

Well, there’s a lot to say here. On the plus side, floofy sweeping skirts! On the other hand, well…

The Sleeves make another appearance.

Now, some people love puffy sleeves. And if that’s you, good for you. I am not one of those people. But they aren’t quite as bad as the 1830’s, and they have trailing skirts to make up for it, so I rank it higher.

7/10

1900-1901

(This pic may be a few years later, but you get the general idea)

This is quite a short era- not fashion wise, it just ceases to be Victorian after a couple of years.

I’d say it’s pretty good. The sleeves have tamed down from insane to simply dramatic, the skirts are still dramatically sweepy, and the fondness of this era for delicate white lingerie dresses makes it an excellent choice for ghost outfits. My one bone to pick with it is the loose pigeon breasted fronts, which aren’t much my taste and I think don’t quite fit the others (In my opinion at least, one of the few consistent features of the entire era is the fitted bodices, and this part kind of sticks out dramatically), but it’s not that significant.

8/10
