Product Information

Tweet I will be presenting a couple of talks in October this year – my first lecture is about Regency Fashion – my second lecture is a entertaining, lively and informative Tudor Talk with Costume Display for the Quilters Guild on 12 October 2019.

Writer Jan Bondeson looked into the peculiar tale in depth for his book Queen Victoria’s Stalker: The Strange Story of the Boy Jones.

The first hard evidence of a separate roll worn around the hips are a reference to them in Elizabeth’s wardrobe accounts from 1580. It was tied around the hips to make a woman’s skirt swell out becomingly at the waistline before falling to the ground. It was used throughout the 16th century and into the 17th, and considered an essential aid to fashionable dress. Jones died on Boxing Day 1893 in Bairnsdale, Australia, after falling from the Mitchell River bridge while he was drunk and landing on his head.

Edmonds, the principal auctioneer at Chippenham auction rooms in Wiltshire, dated the underwear to the late 1890s by measuring the waistline.He became the town crier of Perth and adopted the name Thomas Jones in the 1880s in an apparent bid to leave his past behind him.

Another option for women from 1877 was “combinations”, these rivalled drawers and was popularised by Dr Jaeger in the late 1880s. Combinations were essentially a camisole attached to drawers and they eliminated the need for a chemise. As time progressed combinations became frillier and more elegant, slowly emerging into lingerie like designs. Initially, combinations were made from linen, silk, calico or cambric in pink or cream tones, but by 1892 silk or fine muslins were the preferred fabrics. It was a sort of workhouse where people seen as vagrants and beggars would be sent and put to work.
