in this video, I talk about how fashion evolved in the mid-19th century, from the severe lines of the 1840s to the big bell shapes of the 50s to the sleek big skirted fairytale princess shapes of the 60s. And then I make a day gown from the first half of the 1850s.

All the fashion plates and extant gowns shown can be found online at the Met.
