Such beautiful portraits Rose....and look at how tiny their waists are! Dressing was very complicated back then...but lovely. Hope you are having a sunny day. Joyce
Hi Rose. I know I'm old when I look at these photos and all I can think about is how uncomfortable they had to be in those darn corsets! When I was young we had garter belts and girdles...which I hated. LoL.
Yes, their underthings...had to be cumbersome..and uncomfortable.
TALK ABOUT OLD... I had a Great Aunt, who was so proud of her TINY wsist line (back in the very late 1800's )..that she actually had a miscarriage due to the tight undergarment she wore. Poor thing...so vain. Did anyone notice that one of these lady's is Ethel Barrymore ?

Rose I visited the link about the Estate Sale and you are right I saw lots of stuff I loved. Some of the furniture and china were to die for!
