Edwardian Undergarments

Every era of fashion has one hard core rule...if you don't wear the right foundations you will not get the look. So for me, every new project starts with undergarments~ As I have never made anything from the Edwardian era I will be starting with a pair of split wide bloomers in black silk with wide lace, a long princess slip, a petticoat, a corset and as this is very late in the corset days I will also be making a boned corset cover since the top of the corsets were generally underbust. I should be pulling what I can for the slip or petticoat this weekend from the stash...see you soon!
