Georgiana Brummell(@tefferbear@mastodon.art This is in response to your post regarding underwear prior to Victorian times. A friend boosted your post, but when I replied, I received a message saying that your post was marked as followers only or some such and couldn't be replied to. I just wanted to clarify a few things.<br><br>The following is from Beau Brummell: The Ultimate Man of Style (or the Ultimate Dandy in the UK edition) by Ian Kelly. Please forgive the (x). This was scanned into my computer (I'm blind) and there was an ocr error, so I wrote x.<br><br>"Like Brummell, and all young men of fashion, it appears that Byron wore underwear rarely or not at all. A study of Scrope Davies's accounts reveals a similar absence, and Prince (x)-Muskau's mention of the number of "summer trousers" a gentleman needed refers to the same issue. The older generation kept with older ways; some of the very rare examples of male undergarments surviving from the period belonged to Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Coutts, the banker, but in their dotage. The younger set aspired to a different aesthetic, and the line of the trouser was not to be interrupted by rucked shirttails or underwear."<br><br>From another passage in the same book. This is from a discussion of when Brummell was still in England (he left in 1816), so it's well within the Regency.<br><br>"One Persian ambassador to the Court of St. James's was moved to write that he found the Brummell style of trousers "immodest and unflattering to the figure . . . [they] look just like underdrawers-could they be designed to appeal to the ladies?"<br><br>This is directly from Brummell. Keep in mind that he died in 1840, only three years after the Victorian era began. This is from The life of George Brummell, esq., commonly called Beau Brummell by Captain Jesse. It is a biography, not a piece of fiction.<br><br>"Pray send me what remains in the drawers of the bed-room there are some waistcoats, drawers, pantaloons, &c., and in the upper tiroir, sundry trifling things which I forgot, but which I may have occasion for."<br><br>This is from 1837 or so from the same book.<br><br>"I have not a single shirt that will hang to my back, nor are my socks and drawers in a better state."<br><br>This is again from Brummell, from a book that he wrote called Male and Female Costume. It was written in 1822 but not published until 1934.<br><br>"Ancient drawings and descriptions furnish us with an idea of the remainder of their dress in the resemblance of modern underdrawers."<br><br>From the same book.<br><br>"The following is the description of the dress of a Running Footman in 1730: ”They wear fine Holland drawers and waistcoats, thread stockings, a blue silk sash fringed with silver, a velvet capwith a great tassel; and carry a Porter’s staff with a large silver handle.”"<br>It is true that there was a trend to use shirttails as underwear. This remained so even into the Edwardian era. But drawers were certainly known prior to Victorian times.<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/antiquemenswear" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AntiqueMenswear</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/brummell" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Brummell</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/clothing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#clothing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/edwardian" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Edwardian</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/fashion" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fashion</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/regency" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Regency</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/victorian" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Victorian</a>

Georgiana BrummellSince this post is about fashion, let me start by answering the question that I am sure will be on your mind upon seeing my name. No, I am not related to The Beau. However, I love dandyism as a whole, and I took this name in tribute. I am also working to have his book, Male and Female Costume, published online freely, but that's for another post and time. At any rate, I am forty-one and am passionate about antique menswear, Regency as a scholarly pursuit, and Edwardian for daily wear. Naturally, I am constantly researching and trying to expand upon my knowledge. I am totally blind, so I must rely on descriptions rather than images.<br><br>I am the type who would like to wear a three-piece suit and accessories everywhere I go. I've decided that for my first one, I should get a lounge suit, since I can wear it almost anywhere during the day, provided it's not a formal occasion. I will eventually have morning wear, white tie, black tie, and informal evening wear, but that's for later. I have found some sites which create reproductions of men's Edwardian suits, but most use synthetic materials and/or zippers, which I refuse to wear, and none uses fabrics of the proper thickness. I found sites that make women's suits with men's specifications (no ridiculous enhancements of breasts, butt, shallow pockets, soft colours, buttons on the wrong sides of shirts, etc.) but they only make modern clothing. Ebay and Etsy occasionally have some authentic pieces, but most are too formal for daily use, even by Edwardian standards! I am also having difficulty with finding some accessories, such as proper ties and socks without elastic. My other option is to have a suit commissioned, but for that, I need to find a good tailor. The best in the world, in my opinion, is Zack Pinsent, but he's in England and I'm in America (New Jersey).<br><br>I am seeking those who share my interest in antique menswear, and perhaps some advice as to where I can find such clothing and/or accessories. Even a bathing suit would be great, since we do own a saltwater pool.<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/accessories" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accessories</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/antiquemenswear" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#antiquemenswear</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/bespoke" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bespoke</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/clothing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#clothing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/dandies" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dandies</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/dandyism" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dandyism</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/daywear" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#daywear</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/dressing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dressing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/edwardian" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Edwardian</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/eveningwear" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eveningwear</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/fashion" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fashion</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/formal" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#formal</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/historicalclothing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#historicalclothing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/informal" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#informal</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/loungesuit" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#loungesuit</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/masculinewomen" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#masculinewomen</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/mensfashion" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mensfashion</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/menswear" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#menswear</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/morningwear" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#morningwear</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/offtherack" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#offtherack</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/regency" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Regency</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/suits" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#suits</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/tailors" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tailors</a>

Georgiana BrummellHello. Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I prefer to be called. I chose it in honour of Beau Brummell. I joined Friendica in October of 2024, after Facebook closed their Basic Mobile site (not app), since their main page is barely accessible with a screen readr. However, I noticed many accessibility issues there as well, and they will take quite awhile to be resolve. I have, therefore, chosen to switch to the <a href="http://Blob.cat" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Blob.cat</a> instance of Akkoma, though I do not intend to delete my Friendica account.<br><br>I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, nature and historical documentaries, old BBC radio shows, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, with Classical being my favourite, while in popular (listen to rarely), I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's, and some acoustic recordings. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I am starting to learn about opera, with my main focus being singers from the 1940's and earlier, due to the change in singing style that began roughly in the 1950's. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a gay rights supporter. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. I am happily childfree and am not religious. My main goal in life is simply to enjoy it, and have fun learning new things along the way. I am also single and searching. If you are or know a genuine dandy, or at least, a single, childfree, intelligent, well-dressed man, preferably over sixty, please tell him about me.<br><br>Please note. I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism, or world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), and will not add those who do, as I don't want it filling my timelines. While I am interested in technology to an extent (particularly website accessibility), I am not a programmer or gamer, do not use Linux,and don't care what social network you use. I tend to get along better with people much older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, loneliness, etc. so if you need help with that, I'm not the one to ask. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, animals and nature, antiques, and interesting facts and life stories.<br><br>This is my journal.

Georgiana Brummell<p>Things I am Seeking</p><p><em>Note. I have no interest in political correctness, no hatred of men, etc.</em></p><ol><li>Book suggestions. (They must be online, preferably in txt, though audiobooks with good narators are acceptable). I primarily read British literature from the nineteenth century and earlier, though I may read some from the twentieth. I love silver fork/fashionable novels (Regency, not Victorian), things about the upper (titled) and upper middle (rich but not titled) classes, memoirs/biographies (usually related to the dandies, men about town, men of the clubs, and wits), anecdotes, things about dandyism, books about the Regency and/or Edwardian eras, male fashion (yes, I have Male and Female Costume by Beau Brummell/see my pinned post on dandyism), and old children's books. I love Wind in the Willows, for example. I also enjoy a bit of fantasy and science fiction, as I am fascinated by books about other worlds, magical creatures, talking animals, etc. I have no interest in modern rot with obscenities and who knows what.</li><li>Operettas. I am always seeking English or Viennese (translated into english) operettas. Extra points if they are original recordings, as I love old operetta/opera singing, though I will except amateur or even professional recordings if they have full dialogue. I have all of Gilbert and Sullivan, including original d'Oyly Carte recordings, a lot of Ivor Novello (always seeking more), some Franz Lehar (including with Richard Tauber), etc.</li><li>Old BBC radio shows. As with books, I prefer things about the upper and upper middle classes. I am always seeking anything with Upper RP. I am a huge Paul Temple fan, and even love the modern recordings, as they actually used original equipment and their accents are flawless! Rarely have I ever heard modern performances of anything that could equal the originals, but these do. I like old documentaries, too.</li><li>Audio recordings of elocution lessons in Upper RP or Transatlantic. Please do not recommend books, unless they don't rely on IPA.

Georgiana Brummell<p>I'm an atheist, but I still enjoy various types of music, including the religious variety, as some is quite beautiful. To that end, I posted this a few years ago on Facebook. I braved the nightmare that is the main site today and was able to find it. I hope it brings joy to you.</p><p>Now, it's time for some Christmas music history! Some of these are playlists, so just skip what you don't like, I promise, this is not the usual music you hear in shops!</p><p>I have a few time periods in mind, but let us begin with the very first Christmas song ever written.</p><p>Jesus Refulsit Omnium - Roman Christmas Song - YouTube</p><p>youtube.com/watch?v=izRVH2avtz…</p><p>And now, for something a bit more modern. Don't expect to hear Elvis on this list, though.</p><p>Here are some songs from the eighteenth century! Unfortunately, these are just instrumentals.</p><p>18th Century Authentic Christmas Music</p><p>youtube.com/watch?v=bwiJ9qsIBN…</p><p>On to the Regency! Yay! Sadly, there isn't much available from then. Please feel free to make suggestions.</p><p>The Gloucester Wassail/The Holly and the Ivy, Regency Christmas</p><p>youtube.com/watch?v=tzv5eGTxvi…</p><p>This may or may not be authentic, but it's pleasant. Again, it's instrumental.</p><p>Regency Music - Peaceful Christmas</p><p>youtube.com/watch?v=ynx3fv7JpI…</p><p>This is real, in more ways than one, as the song existed then, and it's being played on a genuine Regency piano!</p><p>O come o come Emmanuel played on a Regency period Broadwood square piano</p><p>youtube.com/watch?v=iSJwQidimD…</p><p>On to the Victorian era. Believe it or not, while a large number of familiar Christmas songs came from then, I can't find a good playlist! Again, if you know of one, please suggest it. While this recording is modern, you can be sure that Victorians would have been very familiar with the arrangements and that many also spent time in the church where this was recorded, probably hearing the same organ, too!</p><p>Victorian Carols from St Bartholomew the Great</p><p>youtube.com/watch?v=q8GV7NMfy3…</p><p>Now, let's turn to my second favourite period next to the Regency, the Edwardian! This extremely special! All of the following was actually recorded then! I have made it a tradition to listen to this every year. Some of the tunes may be familiar, but in several cases, the lyrics may not be. The last one is a real treat for the children and those young at heart!</p><p>Vintage Christmas Songs from the 1900's & 1910's Playlist</p><p>youtube.com/watch?v=zOBKgQj-qq…</p><p>I'm not very familiar with this one.</p><p>1900s -1910s Victorian Christmas Music Selection</p><p>youtube.com/watch?v=AXflh4s6T9…</p><p>This is from two years after King Edward's death, but I had to include it, as it's a lovely version. Note that the link that I originally provided no longer exists, so I had to find another. But here, you can actually see the grammophone!</p><p>"Silent Night! Hallowed Night!" Elsie Baker on VV Model XI, 1912.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nElAx0MpBs4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">youtube.com/watch?v=nElAx0MpBs…</a></p><p>Finally, as my friends know, I love Eton College, so I had to include this. It breaks the theme slightly, in that it doesn't belong to a specific time period, but songs from different times are sung, and all in a very traditional manner.</p><p>Eton Choir Christmas</p><p>youtube.com/playlist?app=deskt…<br><a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=ancient" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ancient</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=choir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>choir</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=choral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>choral</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Christmascarols" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Christmascarols</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Christmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Christmas</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Edwardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Edwardian</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>English</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=EtonCollege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EtonCollege</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=fortepiano" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fortepiano</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=historical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>historical</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=instrumental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>instrumental</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Latin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Latin</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=phonographs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>phonographs</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Regency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Regency</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Roman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Roman</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=songs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>songs</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Victorian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Victorian</span></a></p>

Georgiana Brummell<p>Since this post is about fashion, let me start by answering the question that I am sure will be on your mind upon seeing my name. No, I am not related to The Beau. However, I love dandyism as a whole, and I took this name in tribute. I am also working to have his book, Male and Female Costume, published online freely, but that's for another post and time. At any rate, I am forty-one and am passionate about antique menswear, Regency as a scholarly pursuit, and Edwardian for daily wear. Naturally, I am constantly researching and trying to expand upon my knowledge. I am totally blind, so I must rely on descriptions rather than images.</p><p>I am the type who would like to wear a three-piece suit and accessories everywhere I go. I've decided that for my first one, I should get a lounge suit, since I can wear it almost anywhere during the day, provided it's not a formal occasion. I will eventually have morning wear, white tie, black tie, and informal evening wear, but that's for later. I have found some sites which create reproductions of men's Edwardian suits, but most use synthetic materials and/or zippers, which I refuse to wear, and none uses fabrics of the proper thickness. I found sites that make women's suits with men's specifications (no ridiculous enhancements of breasts, butt, shallow pockets, soft colours, buttons on the wrong sides of shirts, etc.) but they only make modern clothing. Ebay and Etsy occasionally have some authentic pieces, but most are too formal for daily use, even by Edwardian standards! I am also having difficulty with finding some accessories, such as proper ties and socks without elastic. My other option is to have a suit commissioned, but for that, I need to find a good tailor. The best in the world, in my opinion, is Zack Pinsent, but he's in England and I'm in America (New Jersey).</p><p>I am seeking those who share my interest in antique menswear, and perhaps some advice as to where I can find such clothing and/or accessories.</p><p>For those who are interested in my journey so far, here is my dreamwidth post containing all sorts of links related to Regency and Edwardian menswear.</p><p><a href="https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/210125.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/210…</a></p><p><a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=accessories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessories</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=antiquemenswear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antiquemenswear</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=bespoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bespoke</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=clothing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>clothing</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=dandyism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dandyism</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=daywear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>daywear</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=dressing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dressing</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Edwardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Edwardian</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=eveningwear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eveningwear</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=fashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fashion</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=formal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>formal</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=historicalclothing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>historicalclothing</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=informal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>informal</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=loungesuit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>loungesuit</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=masculinewomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>masculinewomen</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=mensfashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mensfashion</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=menswear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>menswear</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=morningwear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>morningwear</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=offtherack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>offtherack</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Regency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Regency</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=suits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>suits</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=tailors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tailors</span></a></p>
Rachel Burch<p>Day 19 of my Edwardian advent calendar is an advert for Raphael Tuck and sons cards. Postcards were extremely popular and in 1900 419 milllion were sent out in that year alone. Postal collections were frequent and stamps were very cheap. <br />All adverts appeared in the strand between 1900-3. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Edwardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Edwardian</span></a></p>
