Mrs. Twig in 1860s England - so much clothing! Can you name everything she's wearing? How about what she must be wearing underneath?

Cant imagine wearing all that and then having a hot flash!!!
via Facebook
Donna Appleby those layers would have to go!!!!!

Sue Ann Bucher Wentz two words:fainting couch

Sue Ann Bucher Wentz going tinkle must have been a chore!

Lee Ann Forester Train often wondered about how they squeezed those hoops into an outhouse!!!!
via Facebook
Sue Ann Bucher Wentz You turn them vertically and in the finer outhouses there were hooks to hold their hoops.

Thanks....learned something there. The one I used at my grandparents farm or at Girl Scout camp must not have been one of the finer ones!!! So glad we have other options now!!!

Makes a pretty picture but it must of taken all morning just to get dressed.
via Facebook
Hat, cloak, shawl, pelt, bow, hoops, corset, binding, petticoat, bloomers, dress, stockings, boots/shoes, muff.. I wonder what I missed?

Rochelle Dubois Time travel for one session of dressing for the day would be very traumatic.

I can't but she was definitely not a pauper.

I'm thinking it was cold in England of the 1860s. I probably would have worn as much or more clothing as this lovely lady.
via Facebook
Brenda Lichty-Steedley agreed ...I was thinking the same thing..very cold!!
via Facebook
How about getting into and out of all that "stuff"? Must have been a nightmare!

Can just imagine people of those times their heads would spin to realise just how much is worn today, to then, so such a different era to now, the progress made

She's very beautiful. Not sure of all the names if the underclothes but at the very least an under skirt, over skirt, some type of bodice/blouse (unless its a one piece dress), a beautiful cape, a muff and a hat...may have had gloves on too

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
