Amelias Blues: 31657-12 Shifts and Stays - Ivory

31657-12

100% Cotton by designer Betsy Chutchian for Moda from the Amelias Blues collection against a Ivory background.
Inspired by the life of Amelia Bloomer, 1818-1894, Ive chosen fabrics from my collection of antique quilts for the prints in this collection. Amelia was a suffragist, a social activist, and the editor of the temperance newspaper, The Lily. Her interest in the reform of womens clothing led to her promoting the Rational Dress Movement during the Victorian Era. She especially advocated the wearing of a form of pants called pantaloons, as being sensible and practical under a short dress. Women accepted the idea of wearing pantaloons, mostly in the form of undergarments, and while Amelia did not invent the pantaloons, the nickname bloomers was adopted!
