1895 Ensemble

[mala_14]

I got pictures of my 1895 ensemble before I presented on it at a conference. This ensemble has parts for multiple HSM challenges, including: Tucks and Pleating, Protection, and Gender Bender. The skirt is Tucks and Pleating, with it's double pleats at the CB. The corset cover is for Protection. And the bow tie and shirtwaist are for Gender Bender.

This is lovely! That sounds like a fun presentation.

Thank you! It was fun. Something a bit different from a standard academic talk.

That looks so great! And what a fun topic for a presentation too. I wish I could have heard it!

So nicely tailored! Love those back pleats. I'd be interested in getting info for next year's conference - sounds really interesting if people like you are presenting!

Thank you! It's the VSAWC (Victorian Studies Association of Western Canada) conference. Next year's will be in Vancouver. It tends to be mostly English literature types presenting. It's a bit smaller of a conference (about 80 people) and everyone is really friendly.

Vancouver, darn. Oh well. As a book historian, I find I often land with English peeps as well as early modern historians. Interdisciplinary FTW! :D

Yeah, it's always in a different city in Western Canada. Book historian sounds fascinating! Old books are so much fun. I helped curate an exhibit in our archives last year that was featuring 19th century books for the blind. One of the things I love about English is how interdisciplinary it is. Keeps things interesting!
