Costume in Detail was first published in 1968, so the fashions of the start of the century were still in living memory at the time, and it contains several references to open drawers going out of fashion by 1910.<br /><br />At some point I’d love to have a go at making this dress from Patterns of Fashion http://collections.museumoflondon.org.uk/Online/object.aspx?objectID=object-81657&start=11&rows=1 (inspired in part by the magnificent Sailor Suit of Swear, I might add!), and I think that the only way to answer the comfort break question is by wearing the whole outfit and seeing how well it works. <br /><br />I suspect I’ll be making some open drawers quite soon after that!!<br /><br />Elaine<br />Black Tuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399472362773743743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102653746369917661.post-28081022560648645762015-03-30T18:47:31.069+01:002015-03-30T18:47:31.069+01:00Very lovely closed drawers!

I went back and read your post on underwear and am still very confused as to how these ladies had a comfort break (Queen Elizabeth's preferred terminology for going to the bathroom...or so I've heard.) I have had to use the WC many times while wearing my long line corset and have been so thankful for open drawers. I would imagine that the ladies would have to almost completely undress to manage a trip to the WC. What are your thoughts?<br />Blessings and fabulous knickers!!<br />gGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345391863552645466noreply@blogger.com
