koshka_the_cat pinned this redingote and it popped up in my feed...and I'm pondering something. You see I'm so focused on nursing things at the moment that I'm looking at the world through a very different lens. And I'm wondering if this was just dressed on the mannequin horribly crooked OR is it possible the original wearer had very bad scoliosis? The hem seems straight while the bodice is very off, which would make sense if a hem was balanced off of someone's even hips and then put on a symmetrical model.

I found two fashion plates of this style too!

The second looks like a redrawing--I'd love to see the original :)
