Hat to Hem | I Used the Edwardians' Ideal Proportions to Get the Perfect Silhouette | Designing Lady | Half-Scale @HattoHem | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
I used a Table of Proportions from "Turn-of-the-Century Fashion Patterns and Tailoring Techniques" by S. S. Gordon to achieve the Perfect Edwardian Silhouette!
As always, when starting a new era, in order to get that perfect silhouette, you need to start from the skin and work your way out. I decided to see if I could get that Edwardian silhouette while using a base of Victorian Undergarments. It involved making a corset cover, hip padding, and a new petticoat. I meant to get this project done in a few days, but a new arrival threw me wildly off course!
