I have photographed the things I made! Join me for a brief thread!
Remember the #CinnamonLinenJacket and the #CinnamonLinenSkirt? Here they are, also with new slimmer petticoat and Second Largest Hat, which I never previously took any good photos of.

Georgiana Brummell @dandylover1@blob.cat

Since this post is about fashion, let me start by answering the question that I am sure will be on your mind upon seeing my name. No, I am not related to The Beau. However, I love dandyism as a whole, and I took this name in tribute. I am also working to have his book, Male and Female Costume, published online freely, but that's for another post and time. At any rate, I am forty-one and am passionate about antique menswear, Regency as a scholarly pursuit, and Edwardian for daily wear. Naturally, I am constantly researching and trying to expand upon my knowledge. I am totally blind, so I must rely on descriptions rather than images.

I am the type who would like to wear a three-piece suit and accessories everywhere I go. I've decided that for my first one, I should get a lounge suit, since I can wear it almost anywhere during the day, provided it's not a formal occasion. I will eventually have morning wear, white tie, black tie, and informal evening wear, but that's for later. I have found some sites which create reproductions of men's Edwardian suits, but most use synthetic materials and/or zippers, which I refuse to wear, and none uses fabrics of the proper thickness. I found sites that make women's suits with men's specifications (no ridiculous enhancements of breasts, butt, shallow pockets, soft colours, buttons on the wrong sides of shirts, etc.) but they only make modern clothing. Ebay and Etsy occasionally have some authentic pieces, but most are too formal for daily use, even by Edwardian standards! I am also having difficulty with finding some accessories, such as proper ties and socks without elastic. My other option is to have a suit commissioned, but for that, I need to find a good tailor. The best in the world, in my opinion, is Zack Pinsent, but he's in England and I'm in America (New Jersey).

I am seeking those who share my interest in antique menswear, and perhaps some advice as to where I can find such clothing and/or accessories. Even a bathing suit would be great, since we do own a saltwater pool.

I wrote both of these posts in their entirety on Friendica, but these are the Dreamwidth versions. If there is enough interest, I will repost them separately, here on Blob.cat. Please feel free to comment here or on Dreamwidth. If you do the latter, though, kindly let me know that you saw this on Blob.cat so that I have an idea of how far this post reaches.

Here, you will find links pertaining to dandies and dandyism as a whole. It is the culmination of at least five years of research, though I am constantly finding new things to add to my collection. If they are good enough, I will include them here. Please feel free to comment with any that you would like me to consider.

In this post, I will provide links related to men's fashion during the Regency and Edwardian periods. My apologies to those who prefer Victorian styles, but my interest in Regency clothing and culture is connected to my love of dandyism, and my interest in Edwardian clothing is because that is how I wish to dress personally.

How Fashionable!

Doing a bit of rest and relaxing in what comes naturally to me, which is messing around with drafting patterns.
Having drafted yet another different sleeve to maybe make a mock-up of another day, I've also come across a very fun word: Bunglesome!

A screenshot of the scan of an old sewing and pattern drafting manual from 1909. It carries on describing a second fitting: "The lining is now ready for the second fitting. Urge your patrons at all times to wear smooth underwear; also to wear a good corset and to have it the same each time they are fitted. Once in a while a patron will lace differently and cause a great deal of trouble in the fitting this way. You cannot secure a perfect fit over bunglesome underclothes or over an old, broken-bone corset. If you find that these defects are true of a patron, do not hesitate to call her attention to it." The paragraph continues to something else which cuts off, but begins with: "Sometimes after boning a waist it is a little too tight. If so, let out in the under arm seams..." There is an illustration of arm's eye padding made of frills that is not related.
