I had a devil of a time finding blogs and sources that would show me the insides is antique clothing, specifically coats from circa 1820, the Regency Pelisse or Redingote.

Just bunch of Bridgerton garbage and pretty pretty princess style TikTok shorts on period fashion. All the old research based sources are gone.

Did a search, and I immediately find the old school blogs and dress diaries documenting reconstruction efforts similar to mine.

My only quibble is that they don't seem to link blogspot or similar, more commercial services, even if the bog itself isn't commercial.

Finished my daughter's Halloween costume.

Early 1850's mourning attire.

All made by me,l and drafted by me, including the bonnet, using no commercial commercial patterns.

A tall woman in all black Victorian era mourning standing in a livingroom next to a piano.

She is wearing a wide hoop skirt with 3 tiers of ruffles, long black sleeves and black gloves. She is wearing a heavily veiled bonnet that completely obscures her face. The shape of the bonnet under the veil adds to the otherworldly effect.

She must likely has a shit eating grin on her face but you'd never know because her face is completely hidden.
