What makes the dress look like she's mounting a tiny horse under it in that first picture?

[hyuri.livejournal.com]

You are entirely correct. Thanks. ^^;;;

You're welcome. ^^

In the front it's her left hand, holding on to her skirt. Presumably lifting the ham a bit so she doesn't trip.

in the back it's a 'cul de paris' or 'tournure' (http://www.marquise.de/en/1800/ch1800.shtml)
The type of dress was quite popular in the 1870s., though usually used with a silk (partially see-through) or fine-lace shawl.

In england and the US, similar bodices were used, but with a higher cut, and usually with a neck-high blouse.

That makes me glad i'm not a woman. The last clothing term I had to learn was velcro when I was 3.

Eh, it doesn’t take long to pick stuff up. And in any case, most of us have no need to learn about shit like that. ^_^

I'm a bit of a history buff, it helps to ber familiar with the clothing styles of the different regions en times, in order to correctly identify things which have no other hints as to origin or time-frame.

Here (http://www.ballrobe.de/Cul%20de%20Paris%20reifen.htm) is an real-life example of the skirts she is wearing.

This is the basic model, over this a tailored jacket is worn. (http://www.exto.nl/gallery/detail/id/20204.html)
