    Sad day for Disney..

    Well, there will of course always be a Mickey…

    Wayne has a protégé’, ready to step up and take over just as Wayne himself did back in 1977 from Jimmy who had taken over from Walt himself.

    Still… hard to think of Minnie as a widow. :huh:

    I am so sorry to hear of his passing, Iron Bess. It is always hard to hear of a friend's passing.

    On another side note...When did Mickey and Minnie get married??!

    Now for the Mantua...

    ? Find by whom?

    I meant "I found it approx. 3 months back....just brought it out of the 'wouldn't it be nice to have this' project file.

    Well, we've picked our year as 1709, so I don't know if that would fall in it, except there is a quote from 1709: "I have not thoroughly examined their new-fashioned petticoats, but shall set aside one Day in the next week for that purpose" (pg 50)

    And of course the "Cause of the Petticoat" from 1710.

    Would this be more for the fashionable lady then, of this time?

    Well, the etching posted above states 1719-1720, but it doesn't necessarily mean that is when this type of foundation garment was created at the time. Keep in mind this is an artist's rendition of a social scene of the time period. We would have to do a bit more searching to find out exactly when this garment appeared.

    And as for the roll or bustle, the hip rolls I know of come around the hips a little further than the bustles or "bumroll" I am familiar with, worn either under a hoop or that eventually moved into the huge butt later in the 19th century... I am no expert on these paddings! What do you wear? (Sorry to inquire so heavily into your undergarments!)

    The 'rump' or 'bustle' I wear is much smaller than the 19th century creation. The type I've made is literally a pillow that rests on the small of your back (lower-back) to help rise up the back of the Mantua's mounds of fabric. I only wear the rump when I am in court gown. Yet, Bess needs so such item for her common Mantua..she has informed me that she as a big enough 'rump' as it is!

    I will post pictures when I get home tonight.

    Yes, I was looking at that one in the book. It's french, yes? It's very conical for sure.

    Would it would be appropriate to wear such an undergarment?

    You know...I had a feeling you were going to ask this. As of the moment, I cannot say that any of the ladies in our crew wear one, (Cheeky rolling her eyes and whistling), but I do on occasion wear a bustle/rump.

    But I would have to say, Yes, for the later period GAoP.

    (Maybe I should make one for example...?!?)
