Russian duma, 1906 Does anyone know what “duma” means? It was in the title of this photograph. I’m assuming it means court. Empress Alexandra is the central figure.

Wool bathing corset, Met, ca. 1902


Royal Worchester Company corset, Met, ca. 1902

This corset was most likely maternity wear, due to its extra adjustability. The corset itself is constructed of four pieces, with extra sets of eyelets and lacing at back, and there are large elastic panels inserted at front. This would allow the wearer to use the corset for a majority of the maternity term, as the corset could easily loosen as the stomach expanded.

Yesterday’s project (as I didn’t have time today to finish the one I wanted to, I’ll have to post them separately): a “hip pad” - which is actually just more of a bustle pad - for under my c. 1903 corset which I am starting soon. And of course the lace and bows are required! Floofiness is necessary!
