18th Century Layers (1780-1790)
18th century clothing layers appropriate for the upper-middle class lady or noblewoman, 1780-1790.
1. Before the gown (robe), you begin with the basics:
a). Linen chemise (e.g. shift)
b). Stockings and silk ribbon garters (shoes not included in this video)
c). Stays (corset)
d). A "modesty" slip (not included in this video)
e). Optional cap
If the cap is not going to be worn, it's usually best to have the hair done beforehand, but this is largely optional. My hair is styled in the messy "hedge-hog" pouf typical of the period.
2. The first layer is one of five hip supports seen in the 18th century. The period 1780-1790 commonly used bum rolls, bum pads or hip pads. Here, I used a bum pad.
3. Next are the petticoats, usually three or four that may be made out of cheap fabric. I use two here to expedite the process. Authentic petticoats should have drawstrings that tie in front and back. This made them waist-adjustable, crucial for 18th century frugality.
4. If your ensemble includes a decorative silk taffeta or satin petticoat, put that on. Otherwise, the last layer below the waist should be a plain white muslin. Muslin was a popular petticoat choice from 1780-1790 besides silk.
5. You fasten a jacket, gown, redingote (riding coat), etc over the stays with pins or hooks and eyes (buttons were rarely used but not unseen). The typical gowns for this period were the robe à l'anglaise (English robe) and polonaise, besides an endless variety of jackets and redingotes. These (excepting the redingote) were initially informal garments that became extremely popular day wear, otherwise very formal social events called for the older, larger robe à la française. Here, I am putting on a kind of jacket and large hat based off of a fashion plate. This kind of ensemble was common in the last half of the 18th century and would usually include sashes, reticules (a handbag that had replaced the pocket), decorative aprons and fashionable sticks.
