What Victorians Wore to Bed

Thank you Brooklinen for sponsoring this video!

We know what upper and middle-class Victorians in particular wore during the day and evening, but seldom is it discussed what historical fashion Victorians wore to bed.

In this video, I walk you through some of the nighttime clothing practices of primarily middle and upper-class Victorians, as well as show a very special item from my antique clothing collection, a wedding nightgown from about 1875.
