Wanted: Victorian undergarments: European

[1880lady]

Hello,

I'm looking for Victorian (pre-1880, post 1870) undergarments, only Western European (either continental or otherwise) in origin. I'm specifically looking for petticoats, drawers, and a corset cover. The waist needs to be at least 25"/63.5 centimitres.

I'm also interested in possibly finding a Victorian sanitary belt.

Thanks!

I've got some Victorian whites to put on C&C soon, not sure what waist sizes they are or the exact dates as they are in my "to do" pile this week. Will let you know if there is anything suitable.

As for the Victorian sanitary belt- good luck! I specialize in collecting antique undersupports like corsets, bust bodices, etc and only have ever seen two in all my years of collecting. One I own and the other was on Ebay and I tried to bid on it but it went sky high. They are VERY VERY VERY rare and only really started to be used at the end of the 19th century. My one is an Edwardian one from the B. Altman and Company in pink silk. The one on ebay was c. 1900 and was made from white cotton.

Oh, that's great--I appreciate it. I've bought from you before several bodice bones, which have turned out splendid. I look forward to the new stock on C&C, as always.
