Book Research 2



































The History of Underclothes
Ainnington, P; Willett, C, 1992., The History of Underclothes, London: Dover Publications.

What was accepted in the 1900s - coloured shirts and already attached collars.
Underwear - an undervest with natural-coloured wool, cotton or silk.
'Pants' were ankle-length or kid-calf, 'Drawers' were just above or below the knee.























This is Count D'Orsay 1828 photographed by Maclise.
I've added him in as he has the eccentricity that i want for Mr Toad. His jacket, waistcoat and trousers are all of different fabrics and colours with a pocket watch, umbrella and monocle.























These are tracings from Costume 1066-1990s
Peacock, J., 1986, Costume 1066-1990s, London: Thames and Hudson

I chose these ones to add as I can see parts of Mr Toad in all of them, i think this would sum up his wardrobe at this time.
