It’s Saturday! It’s Dr Sketchy day!
I’m crazy busy sewing and organising models and garments and memorising my talk. Here are some artistic historical undergarment photographs for you to enjoy while I do other things.

Corsets go commercial in the early 20th century
There was supposed to be something brilliant and brainy here about how corset images became commercialized, sexual and alluring in the early 20th century. But my brain isn’t that flexible right now. All it wants is sleep and warm liquids.
So enjoy the images. Insert your own brilliant commentary in the comments.

I’m supposed to be sewing like mad and marking student papers and exams.

I want to be here:
In the Hammock, ca 1900, Jan van Beers (Belgian artist, 1852-1927)
Maybe in a more comfortable dress though. That one is gorgeous, but doesn’t look that fun for lounging in.
Anyway, instead of being brilliant and blogging and creating I am mainlining echinacea tea and trying to breathe.
I’ll see you on the other side. Aaaaah-choo!
