Thank you for this. I would have fainted in warm weather in those layers and tight sleeves - and going to an outdoors event!

I'm going to be wearing an 1880s costume with bustle for the first time today and I'm glad you mentioned putting on your shoes first. I'll take heed.

Lol, that just a myth, oh and they breathed fine

i think the 1880s big backside skirt has got to be the most ugliest of fashion incarnations. although it is very funny, so there is that.

too fat for this corset

i concur;
a bigger corset would be suitable;
(note: it is hard, if not impossible to express tone in written words)
