Abby Cox | Victorian Haute Couture!? \\ Unboxing a SURPRISE Victorian Clothing Haul from Hello Vintage (Part 2) @AbbyCox | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
In Part 2 of my Hello Vintage Surprise Victorian clothing haul unboxing - we discover a gorgeous 1870s women's bodice (if only it still had its bustle skirt!), an 1860s black silk bonnet, and a *stunning* couture bodice that dates between 1900-1903! I want to give a special thanks to Carolyn from Hello Vintage (https://www.hellovintage.com). This was her idea, and I am so grateful she contacted me! Her shop is located in Oakland, CA and it looks like it's a total treasure trove of goodies! Next time I'm in the Bay Area, I'm definitely making a pit stop.

As much as I hated having to break up my unboxing video into two parts last week, I promise that part two will make it worth it. Not only do we get to look at an incredible Victorian Bustle Era Bodice, that features a lot of hand-sewing, incredible trim, and some glorious pit stains, but Carolyn also sent me a Victorian/Edwardian bodice that is actually a designer piece by Fox Dressmakers in New York & Paris. There isn't a lot of research available about this label, and I am desperate to find out what I can about them. I did find one article about the Fox sisters, but, annoyingly, there were zero citations and references to this write-up. You can read it here: blithewold.org/fox-dressmaking-company
There's a lot of talk about Charles Worth, Worth Gowns, and Victorian couture but he wasn't the only couturiere in the 19th & 20th centuries. Being able to examine this designer bodice to see the difference between historic couture sewing techniques and "normal" historic sewing techniques was fascinating! Unsurprisingly, a lot of it comes down to the little design details that make it special - the use of baleen or whalebone instead of steel to bone the bodice, silk for lining instead of cotton, and custom embellished fabric that obviously was not something you could just buy at the store. This bodice by Fox Dressmaking is what witchy fashion dreams are made of! 😍

Finally, as I said in my video, I have launched my own Patreon🎉🤩 (patreon.com/abbycox) - I have big plans for this channel & my Patreon, and I can't wait to go on this journey with you all! Also! For those of you in the Delicious Details tier on my Patreon -- I'm currently working on B-Roll videos & construction details for these three bodices from Hello Vintage, and should hopefully get them up over the next couple of weeks. ❤️
