Hmmm… tempted. But if you can have my characters be in their historically accurate undergarments I’d be cool with it.
I’ve done some scenes with their underwear already. I’ve done so much research on underwear from this era more than I should’ve! Lol!
Elsie takes place in the late 1890s/early 1900s.
Lemme infodump about Victorian underwear! May I!?
I shall use real examples as well for reference for you.
So what Elsie is wearing right here is chemise and drawers which are separate pieces of underwear.
Drawers - Are the bottom underwear
Chemises - the top
Rosie is wearing combinations which is a one piece of long underwear.
(Her garments are ripped in this one cause she was fighting a monster; don’t make it ripped)
(Rosie has super strength, make her buff)
Corsets - Typically corsets were pretty much like our modern bras. It was to keep the bust in place.
Elsie’s corset is below her bust which was a common style but most common style was just a corset like this.
Finally, stockings! Rosie and Elsie wear black stockings.
What Roy is wearing is a union suit. Both men and women wore it at this time it was mainly for modesty but also for keeping warm in the cold seasons or at night as well.
Often, union suits would have a flap on the butt so you didn’t have to take the whole thing off when doing your business. Secured with two buttons.
And finally for Ernest. His is more in the style of breeches. It had a tie at the back to secure his underwear and buttons at the front.
(Don’t forget his false leg)
Elastic was not invented yet so unless you had a union suit you had to tie your underwear around yourself.
I want you to draw all four of them! Separate!
Thank you and I hope you learned something!
Keep it prude.
