So, it’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of fashion and more specifically haute couture. Uni of Fashion, instructor and authors Francesca Sterlacci and Antonia Stardone wrote about women Pannier dresses from ca. 1750 And this was the image. Which lead me to consider, how would one use the bathroom? Apparently, by wearing split crotch undies and placing basically a bucket underneath to catch their waste.
The skirt portion looks like a beautiful comforter, perhaps it’s made of jacquard- a fabric that is most suitable for curtains and corset designs. The garment construction at the tops is well done and that v-shape to the corset is so flattering. But it is comical to see how wide the skirt is with today’s current trends.
