What did most people wear in the lifeboats? I know many were asleep since the first lifeboat left at 12:40 AM, so were most in their pajamas? Would social etiquette of the time, especially for women and the wealthy, have driven many people to get dressed before leaving their cabins?

Have any fragments of clothing ever been found near the Titanic? Clothing has most likely disappeared after 96 years, but I've seen pictures of postcards and letters that have been found so I thought it would be worth a chance. Also, does anyone know if the shoes and bowler hat that have been...

I thought I would jump in at the deep end and start my very own thread. It is on the specific subject of actual descriptions and pictures of what people were wearing on the ship, or at the time it sank. I know there is some discussion elsewhere, but it seems easier to start a new thread, and...

I would like to make a outfit from the Titanic era for me. Does anybody know how the detachable cuffs and bosoms have been attached to a shirt? I think that the cuffs have been attached with some kind of buttons. Could anybody help me? Regards Vitezslav

I'm curious to know what men, women and children wore as underwear in 1912????

Heya! Can you tell me what the officer's uniforms entailed and if they wore them still while they were off duty? Also did they just crash into bed when their watch was up or did they have some fun at some point? I find it hard to believe, with all the stories surrounding sailors, that...

Hello all, I was just thinking about certain collections that I know are out there and was wondering if any personal clothing or effects (shoes, jewellery etc) that was in the lifeboats still exists. Obviously the most famous pieces I can think of are Lucile Duff-Gordons Kimono and Edith...
