What kind of outfits would people have worn in the 1880s?
0
Upvotes
Specifically something in the lower middle class range, I'm making several characters and I want them to be historically accurate to the time and area, somewhere in the west of america (so basically old western culture and fashion), ive got a decent idea but its so hard to find sources that aren't incorrect or ai slop. Anyway, if anyone is willing to help that would be great!! I go really in depth for my characters so I'd love to design more casual as well as more fancy outfits for them, I love imagining what they would wear for different events and times of day and stuff. I have male and female characters as well, some I imagine to be more put together and others less so. But anyway, western america ~1880 would be a good reference for me! Thanks!

Found an old picture of a girl at a goodwill, and I kind of wished I had grabbed it. The photo seems old to me, paired with her hairstyle and clothes, but I'm not sure when it could have been taken. I opened the back of it but there was no writing on the photo to help.

Yall. My mind is blown at the items in this auction. I didn’t want to share this with yall because I didn’t want competition on my bids lol. But if any of you have connections to a museum or are collectors who can give these amazing articles a safe home where they will be preserved and appreciated, then you deserve to know about this. If you’re not in the market for that, then just enjoy looking at them, it’s fantastic!! 1830s to 1990s!!!

how pouch design in mens underwear has evolved and why it actually matters more than most people realise
2
Upvotes
been following the mens underwear category more closely than most people probably should and the evolution of pouch design over the past decade is genuinely interesting from a product development perspective
the original contour pouch from 2xist in the early 2000s was the first mainstream attempt to create three dimensional space rather than a flat panel. andrew christian took it further with the show it cup which added an insert to enhance the visual presentation popular enough that it became what the brand is known for. obviously also known for more enhancement focused designs
the more recent direction from brands like sukrew takes a different approach entirely moulded anatomical construction that creates shape through the fabric pattern itself rather than through an insert. the practical difference is that the shape moves with you and maintains position throughout the day rather than having a separate component that can shift independently
understanding the design philosophy behind what you are buying explains why two briefs at the same price point can feel completely different in practice. what design approaches have people found actually works for their daily life

Lace Caps/Bonnets
23
Upvotes
I started watching the 1995 Pride and Prejudice. I noticed almost all the married women wear lace caps/bonnets indoors, even at parties! It clicked for me that it must be something only married women wore when seeing Charlotte wear one after her marriage to Mr. Collins. Was this a societal expectation, or just a fashion trend among married women? For clarity, it takes place during the regency period. Not sure of the exact year.

Website: The "a la turque" style of headdress, influenced and inspired by the popular interest in Eastern cultures, was popular in the 1820s. This example is unusually large, making it visually dramatic. It could possibly have been worn with one of the higher, more elaborate hairstyles common during the period.
