Before we get started, I do have a disclaimer. I’m not wearing the right chemise (community guidelines) or the right corset. I was worried I would not fit into the bodice so I wore my 1900 corset made by Ninonella that is capable of lacing me down. This was sold me as a ballerina costume. It may have been a Victorian 18th century fancy dress costume. I DID NOTTTT have the proper petticoat that would have gone under this. It has tons of cartridge pleating, which tells me it was worn under a very full petticoat so please ignore my modern day solution.

On Ye Olde Tubes of the You I have an entire long form video where I talk about the garment and show the guts so you can see more close up details. Unfortunately I had a minute and a half for IG to try to show you everything.

I really cannot express how much I love the Met Gala theme for this year. It really draws attention to the struggle conservators face is thing to preserve our history for future generations. It highlights just how magical these Guardians of the past truly are.
