CLOTHS FROM 1880
A box dedicated to the year 1880.
From the underwear you can see very clearly where all the tucks with strings were, to pop-up the Bustle.
These clothes are the exact copies of the originals.
I borrowed the originals from a friend, took all the measures and divided them by 12 to make my patterns.
