Or, "How to Dress Elizabeth Bennet"
1) the model, 2) stalkings and pantalettes (these would often just be two pant legs tied together at the top), 3) a shift, 4) the stay (this was like the corset version of a modern bra, mostly meant to lift the bust. A woman with a larger bust would have a longer stay, for more support. There were even longer versions for women who felt the need to flatten their tummy and make the dress lie smooth), 5) a bodiced petticoat (often with a decorative hem, just in case it showed), 6) the dress, often worn with white gloves at formal occasions.
This is part of a series I'm doing where I use nude figure drawings from class as models for historical fashion. Advice and corrections are welcome.
