Contextual Research
In 1830, George Stephenson invented the world's first public inter-city rail line connecting Manchester and Liverpool, which revolutionised transportation between the UK's industrial powerhouses. Cotton was sourced from American plantations across seas and transported to Manchester textile mills where it was transformed into fabric The fabric was then transported to Liverpool for export to the rest of Britain This was a significant development for the textile industry, as it not only made textiles more accessible across Britain but also accelerated the production process.
In 1833, the Factory Act was passed by Parliament to prohibit children under the age of 9 from working in the textile industry, a year after the setting of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase In Wolves, characters Bonnie and Sylvia both get sent to Brisket Blastburn Academy for Girls which is a workhouse disguised as a school/ orphanage for girls.
King William IV
King William IV reigned as the king of England from 1830 to 1837 He was an unexpected monarch as he was the youngest of three. His father, King George II, had reigned for 60 years King William IV was a popular king and was known for being friendly and relatable as he often mingled with the public.
King William IV's reign paved the way for political and social reforms of the Victorian era During his reign, he introduced the Reform Act of 1832. This act expanded social rights and reduced corruption in elections. Additionally, he abolished slavery in the British Empire and introduced a modern police force that was continued by his brother's reign.
King George IV
King George IV was the King of England from 1820 to 1830. He was the elder brother of William IV and ruled during the Regency era. During the 1820s and 1830s, George IV had a significant impact on fashion, as he followed the popular dandy style This style was influenced by his close friendships with Regency fashion icons like Beau Brummell. He was known for his elegance and would often wear elaborate coats, waistcoats, and hats. However, in his later years, he developed a fondness for food, which caused him to gain weight. To hide his weight, he had to wear a whalebone corset and girdle

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase 1989
I watched the movie The Wolves of Willoughby Chase from 1889 The movie is fairly similar to the script by Joan Aiken adapted by Russ Tunney, which I read for research.
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase 1889
Above are photos from The Wolves of Willoughby Chase 1889 Figure 1 shows (starting from the left) James, Mr Grimshaw, Sylvia, Miss Slighcarp and Bonnie
James
The novel "Wolves of Willoughby Chase" is set in an alternate world in 1832, where King James III ruled.
During his reign, the channel tunnels throughout Europe were opened, leading to an overpopulation of wolves from cold countries in Europe migrating to Britain.
The story revolves around Bonnie and Sylvia, who are nineyear-old cousins. At the beginning of the story, Bonnie's mother becomes sick, and her parents leave to seek the healing sea air During their absence, her father enlists the help of Miss Slighcarp, a governess who turns out to be a horrible person Miss Slighcarp plans to sink Mr and Mrs Willoughby’s ship to rewrite their will and steal their fortunes. She also plans to send Bonnie and Sylvia to a workhouse-style orphan school
However, there are some characters who help Bonnie and Sylvia to defeat the villainous Slighcarp and overcome the obstacles in their way
James is Mr and Mrs Willoughby’s beloved butler, in the image above, James is wearing a red frock coat with gold embellishments and trims, a red waistcoat with gold trim, red breeches, and white knee-high stockings. However, his outfit is not historically accurate as it does not represent the clothing typically worn by servants/butlers in the 1830s Servants/butlers would wear darker frock coats and trousers, which would match the clothing worn by their masters.
Mr Grimshaw
Mr Grimshaw is a friend of Miss Slighcarps who follows her twisted ways to try and gain the Willioughby’s fortunes In Figure 1, Mr Grimshaw can be seen wearing a white shirt with a high-collar, paired with a loose necktie He is also wearing a red waistcoat, a burgundy frock coat with a wide black velvet collar and pocket flaps, and brown checkered trousers. Although Grimshaw's attire depicts a historical representation of the 1830s, there is still a modern aspect to it, which could be due to the fantasy twist in the movie.
Miss Slighcarp
Fig 5
Miss Slighcarp is a frightful and selfish character portrayed in the movie The character has various noticeable costume changes throughout the film. However, due to its age, which is over 30 years old, there are limited photos available for reference, and the camera quality within the movie is not sufficient for analysing the details of the costumes
In the images above Slighcarp is wearing a black silk dress, with a black bow on the centre front neckline, it also has legs of mutton sleeves, which relate to fashions from the 1830s The dress has a high waistline which has a thick belt worn over it. This dress silhouette is very similar to the dress from the Wolves of Willoughby Chase AUB production
Research
Sylvia
The character Sylvia, who is timid and innocent, is around 9 years old and happens to be Bonnie's cousin
In the image above she is wearing a dress, which is almost identical to Bonnies in shape, although it has a slightly wider neckline and is shorter at the hem
Miss Slighcarp
Slighcarp is pictured on the left wearing a dress similar in shape to her previous outfit, but with more exaggerated sleeves and skirt, emphasizing her evil character The dress is made of dark red satin, with a green thick waistband and a white shawl/scarf. Although the neckline of the dress doesn't conform to the fashion of the 1830s, the rest of the dress is an exaggerated version of 1830s fashion
Bonnie
is one of the main characters in the story who is a nine-year-old girl with a short temper but a kind heart In the picture on the left, she is seen wearing a green and red checkered dress that resembles Miss Slighcarp's dress, but with less exaggerated shaping The dress focuses more on the 1830s fashion trend. She wears a thick belt on a higher waistband, which was a key fashion trend during that era
Additionally, she has leg-of-mutton sleeves, which was also a significant fashion trend at that time. Beneath her dress, she wears pantalettes, which was common for children to wear under their dresses, and they would show below the hemline.
Bonnie and Sylvia
The two girls are wearing cloaks to keep themselves warm while they are outside in the snow. During the 1830s, cloaks were commonly worn by both men and women In this particular image, Bonnie has a green cloak while Sylvia is wearing a red one Interestingly, these two cloaks bear a striking resemblance to the ones used in the Wolves of Willoughby Chase production at Arts University Bournemouth, but with different colours - Bonnie wears red and Sylvia wears blue
In the movie, during the orphan scene, the girls are seen wearing long-sleeved and long-hemmed loose-fit outfits, with the numbers 98 and 99 printed on the front The reason behind the numbers is that during this part of the movie, the girls are portrayed as orphans who work all day at a school They are not given any names and are only identified by their respective numbers. In the 1830s, orphans would generally wear clothes made out of scrap fabrics or handed down, which would not have much shape or aesthetic appeal to them

Question Answer
Was there a costume which was specifically difficult to work with?
Did you have a favourite costume from the movie?
Were there any challenges which came up whilst working on this project?
Do you usually work with historical costume, if so what’s your favourite part about it?
Stephanie Beacham’s (Miss Slighcarps) costumes had the most undergarments and layers to them making them quite heavy and difficult to lift up when dressing the actress She often complained about the costumes being too heavy, and her overheating so we had to fan her between the takes
The purple ball gown dress which Stephanie Beacham wore
As I said before the costumes had lots of layers and were very heavy It was quite difficult for the actors, with thick hot heavy layers
Yes, I worked in the industry for 25 years, but I’m retired now I loved working with historical costume as I love working with the history and detail that would go into the costumes. I always found costuming for modern projects quite boring

Ginny Graham worked as a costume assistant and designer for 20 years in theatre, TV and film. She is passionate about costumes and has dedicated her life to film and theatre

The images above shows Stephanie Beacham in her role as Miss Slighcarp, wearing a stunning purple ball gown dress She accessorized this outfit with a wolf scarf, similar to the one worn in the AUB production The dress features an exaggerated leg of mutton sleeves, a huge gathered skirt and a deep v-neckline. While the dress is inspired by the fashion of the 1830s, it has been enhanced to create a more dramatic effect

1837 Day Dress shown in the Victorian and Albert Museum
Marianne Maurice was the owner of this day dress from 1837. Dresses in the 1830s were characterized by huge collapsed sleeves and wide pleated long skirts, which would be lined with flannel or muslin to hold their shape Day dresses were typically around an inch off the floor, while evening dresses were ankle-length At the start of the decade, day dresses featured higher necklines, while evening dresses had slightly lowered necklines As seen in the image, this particular dress has a slightly lowered neckline and gathered sleeves, which is consistent with the fashion trends of the later 1830s
Fig 14
Day
1837-1839 Dinner Dress.
This dress I saw this at Chertsey Museum and its an evening/dinner dress from the late 1830s During this period, dinner dresses were quite popular, having been introduced in the 1820s and gaining momentum into the 1830s The dress has a slightly off-the-shoulder bodice, which was fashionable at the time The bodice is piped, and the piping is visible down the center front. Trims played a significant role in the design of dresses during the 1830s, and this dress is no exception It has gold trims thatess, and they embellish the pleats of the skirt, mirroring the front of the cartridge pleated skirt.
Dress 1830s at the Victorian and Albert Museum
This dress and pelerine date back to the 1830s The dress is made of brown silk and features collapsed sleeves, a lowered neckline that slopes down into a V shape at the centre front, and a pleated skirt that hangs an inch off the floor. It has a pelerine over the top of it which was a popular accessory in the 1830s The character Mrs Willoughby is designed with a pelerine worn tucked into the bodice of her dress.

During the 1830s, it was common for women to wear a chemise under their t ti l l d th th i t Th h i f
Children’s Undergarments
Petticoats
Children in the 1830s would wear similar clothing until they reached around the age of 6 Boys and girls would both wear pantalettes under their cotton or wool patterned dresses Pantalettes would be slightly longer than the hemline of childrens wear as the hemline began to rise.
During this period, women's skirts would typically be bell-shaped, with petticoats worn underneath to maintain the shape. There were several ways to make petticoats, such as by starching them to provide structure and stiffness or by sewing cording onto the hem up to the hip. The level of the petticoat would vary depending on the length of the overskirt
Bustles
Ruffle bustles were worn on top of the back of the petticoat to lift the shaping. During this period, bustles were typically thin, lightweight, and short. Mrs Brisket is the only female character who wears a bustle, however, they wear an 1880s shaped bustle due to their actor being male in drag, so an 1880s bustle would emphasise shape, especially on a male figure
In the 1830s, it was uncommon for most children to wear stays since it was believed to be unhealthy. However, there were still some traditional parents who insisted on their children wearing stays to help improve their posture and achieve a straight back.
Figure 1 shows a painting from the 1830s with a family in it. The younger children are wearing pantalettes under their dresses and the younger child on the right is wearing a pinafore over their dress to protect the material which was very popular in the 1830s. The older children in the picture are wearing similar garments which adults would wear so their undergarments would be similar to adults except they would not be wearing stays. Bonnie and Sylvia, who are both characters around 9 years old, wear bodices with boning but do not wear stays or corsets as part of their costumes They also wear breeches, which act as short pantalettes under their skirts To add structure to their top skirts, they also wear frilled petticoats.
Similar to the undergarments on the mannequin above from the Victorian and Albert, characters such as Mrs Willoughby and Miss Slighcarp wear chemises, corsets, and petticoats However, they do not wear traditional sleeve supports due to the costumes being worn in a show with lots of physical movement and quick changes Mrs Willoughby, Miss Slighcarp, and Mrs Brisket’s costumes are all reinforced with netting to hold the puffed balloon sleeve shape, typical of the 1830s fashion

Alfred Guillaume Gabriel, also known as the "Prince of Dandies," introduced French style to British menswear when he relocated to London in 1830
1830 Mens Undergarments
1830 Menswear
In the early 19th century, men's fashion was primarily focused on impressing others. Clothing was designed predominantly for aesthetics rather than utility This trend continued until the 1830s when Balzac's essay "Traité de la Vie Elégante" was published. In the essay, he referred to those who followed dandyism as "extremely ingenious mannequins" However, dandyism remained popular through the decade
In the 1830s, men commonly wore Dress and Frock coats during the day
Characters like Mr Willoughby, James, the Train Conductor, and Dr Mourne all wear different variations of frock coats
Tailcoats were reserved for formal daytime events and evening wear, while great coats and cloaks were worn as outerwear during the day.
Great coats were long coats with wide sleeves, and Mr Grimshaw wears a green velvet great coat
Accompanied by waistcoats and shirts.
In the year 1820, full-length trousers were introduced in fashion, which were previously considered as working-class or work-wear garments. Before this, men would wear pantaloons, which were a slightly longer and tighter version of breeches. Pantaloons were a transition in men's fashion from breeches to trousers.
In the Wolves of Willoughby Chase, almost all characters except Mr. Grimshaw and female characters wear breeches, which is not historically accurate for the 1830s However, the show is based in a fantasy version of Britain where King James III is ruling, which would have a significant impact on fashion trends at the time as the monarchy was a major influence on fashion.
During this period, shirts were considered as undergarments Therefore, they were designed to be hidden under a waistcoat and cravat. These shirts were typically made from cotton or linen and had a high collar. The collar would be detachable and fastened with collar studs In the show, Mr Grimshaw wears a white cotton shirt with a detachable high collar, which accurately represents the typical shirt style of that period During the 1830s, men belonging to the upper class and fashion-conscious would wear discreet corsets as an undergarment to achieve a slim waistline However, male corsets are not used in the show due to the physical activity and quick changes required.
Research
1830 Accessories
In the past, men would wear an accessory around their neck, which was either a stock or a cravat.
Stocks
The photo on the left shows an 1830s stock, which is similar to the necktie designed for Mr Grimshaw in the AUB production of Wolves During the 1830s, stocks were typically made from materials such as velvet, silk, or satin, and they were stiffened to hold a solid shape, and the secured at the centre back
Cravat
Cravats were typically made of muslin or silk, crafted from a large piece of fabric that allowed them to be tied in various ways. A dandy style cravat would be wrapped around the neck and fastened with a decorative pin. The scarf cravat, on the other hand, would be wrapped around the neck and tied in a way that created a scarf-like shape at the front.
Shoes Womenswear
Women's shoes would be made out of silk or satin and have leather soles. They would be lightweight and fastened with lace ribbons which would tie up the leg
Shoes Menswear
These shoes, which are on display at the V&A, date back to the 1830s During this era, leather buckle shoes were a popular choice for men, but by the 1840s, they were no longer in fashion The shoes in the picture have served as an inspiration for the men's shoes in Wolves of Willoughby Chase Leather lace-up boots were also relevant during this era and many of the characters in the movie wear boots that resemble these. The male characters can be seen wearing leather buckle Darcy shoes, while the female actors portraying male roles opt for boots or lace-up boots
In the production, both Sylvia and Bonnie wear satin short-heeled shoes that feature an opening which fastens with a ribbon These shoes are reminiscent of the women's wear shoes from the 1830s, but with a modern twist to suit the fantasy aspect of the show

Costume Breakdown
I purchased the Chorus shirt from Amazon It's a polyester pirate fancy dress shirt. I chose this style because I felt it represented the dress trend of the 1830s, which featured gathered shoulder seams that continued onto the bodice or sleeve This trend was particularly popular in women's wear, so I made sure to represent it in the Chorus shirts
As a group, we all participated in breaking down these shirts and tried different methods The first method involved trying to batik wax onto the shirts that Amelia and Rosie had previously dyed. This was a very tedious process Amelia and I did half a shirt each, and it took three hours. Our method of painting looked completely different, so we didn't end up doing it
As a group, we decided to dye the shirts collectively. We first wet the shirts and squeezed out the excess water, and then submerged them in a mixed dye that Rosie made for a minute. After that, we took the shirts out of the dye and rinsed them again We repeated these steps for all the shirts and ensured that they all had a similar color.
Batik Experiment
Isobel suggested creating a tree effect by using a mixture of water and flour to make a paste, which we could then crack and paint between However, when we came back after doing this, three of the shirts had become solid. It took Rosie and me days to scrub the flour out
We ended up using stencils that Isobel had made, and we applied the paint onto the shirts using a sponge. Rosie arranged for the CPD students from levels 4 and 5 to come and help us, while Amelia, Rosie, Isobel, and I worked on the remaining shirts. To avoid similar issues in the future, I plan to work on breakdowns at the beginning of the term, along with providing samples
