Wow. It's been a loooong time since my last blog post, but I'm so giddy over my new 1890's cycling costume that I decided to knock the dust off of this website so I can share a little bit about my new outfit and throw in a pattern review while I'm at it.
After hearing that a few of my friends were making cycling costumes for Costume College this year, I decided at the last minute that I desperately needed one too, so I ordered the Wearing History Bicycling Outfit pattern since I was in a rush and didn't have time to draft patterns from scratch. This turned out to be a really excellent plan, and I couldn't be happier with the way this pattern went together. Unlike a lot of historical reprints, Lauren has graded this one so that it includes multiple sizes, which was extremely helpful. I made up one of the largest sizes, and I was really pleased with how close it was to fitting right off the bat. I did end up taking in the bodice seams in a few areas, but that's totally to be expecting when working with a Victorian period pattern, and it's always easier to make something smaller than try to make it bigger. The only part of the pattern that seemed a little odd was the neckline, which I found to be lower than it needs to be if you were attaching a high collar. But since I decided to change the design to an open neckline, this really wasn't a problem for me - just be mindful of it if you want to make up the bodice like the original and are using a larger size. I also decided to make the shoulders on the bodice a little narrower so the sleeves didn't sit so wide (helps prevent the linebacker look!), but that's another easy change to make, and it's definitely more of a personal preference than a necessity.

Under the jacket, I am wearing a modern man's tuxedo shirt that I bought at a thrift store, plus a bowtie that a made from some silk scraps left over from a previous project. I also re-trimmed a vintage straw hat with a long strip of striped silk that I sewed into a tube so that it looks like ribbon.
Amusingly, the part of my costume that got the most compliments at Costume College was my plaid stockings! These socks were a lucky find on Amazon, and they come in a three-pack with red and tan as well. I've always been completely charmed by images of Victorian women wearing checked and plaid stockings with their bloomers, and it seemed to be quite a fad during the 1890's. Even if you don't have a cycling costume in the works, I highly recommend these socks if you want to add a bit of fun to your historical (or modern) wardrobe!
This costume turned out to be a real joy to wear. It's quite comfortable, and the bloomers make you feel so free and liberated compared to heavy skirts. I have to admit that I frolicked around like a big nerd when I was wearing this for my photoshoot. All of that extra mobility makes you want to run and jump and flop on the ground! I can totally understand why cycling outfits were so popular with Victorian women - they are just so much fun to wear!

I have some more photos and another video of me riding my bike on Flickr, and you can find more Victorian and Edwardian cycling costume inspiration on my Pinterest. I'm also having a ton of fun using these photos to practice my faux-antique photo techniques using photoshop, so I'm sure I'll be adding more of those to my Flickr account whenever I find some more time to play.

So good to see you! Bicycling attire is wonderful! It must have been tremendously liberating for women at the time!
This whole outfit is smashing. Those stockings top it off magnificently! I hope you do get to wear it for a tweed ride - it's perfect!
What a fun post! It's good to see you posting again, Jen. And the costume does look like fun to wear--if I could ride a bike at all well I'd be tempted to make one.
It's lovely to see you posting again. What a great outfit!
I am so glad you are posting again! This outfit is just adorable! I have a cycling outfit on my list of things to make one day, I just hope it comes out as nicely as yours. :)

Where to order welsh corgi puppies?
Pembroke Welsh Corgis are good with children as long as they're respected; some tend to nip at the heels. Pembrokes can get along well with cats and other pets if socialized when young, but might not be keen on other dogs. The Pembroke corgi is somewhat suspicious around strangers and must be trained to not growl. Pembroke Welsh Corgis are often domineering over each other .
