Love the process pics from the wip Hobbled piece. This post reminded me about a book you might be interested in checking out from your local library/trying to get through Interlibrary Loan. It is called Fashion Victims https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/fashion-victims-9781472577740/ Really entertaining reading, and an entire section on the hobble skirt that might interest you!
Glad you were able to get a copy of this. I work on a chapter here and there rather than reading it straight through. I've found it to be great fun and it's helped with some of my own projects.
Thanks Amber, it's a great book. So interesting. One of my family works at Platt Hall looking after costume, and it was good to see some of their arsenic collection in the book!

Gosh thanks Amber! I'll certainly check it out - sounds like a must-read.
Treated myself to the book and it should arrive tomorrow - it sounds fun!
