to a dress known as crinoline. But, bloomers made a comeback in the 1890’s as a women’s athletic outfit.
1850's fashion bloomers.

TIP
Wear cotton gloves as much as possible when handling your silver. This will prevent the oils and acids from your hands from ending up on the object. Cotton gloves are very inexpensive, and can be purchased at photography supply stores and some drug stores.
