I have to write a book taken place in the Victorian days for school. What are some lesser known facts about the Victorian days that could hep me write the book better? I have Victorian names picked out, and the facts can be about girls, boys, adults, anything really. One is a royalty. Did they have royalty in the Victorian days? I really don't know. Thanks :)
Answer
Justins right.
Clothing sometimes consisted what is now called Baby Doll Gothic
And Baby Doll Angel clothes.
Women used only corsets, yep no bras. A strip of linen that was disposed after two weeks was worn instead of underwear.
Baths were taken once a week and sometimes in small tubs or public washrooms.
When a woman entered a room, it was considered rude for a man to offer his seat to her because the cushion might still be warm.
People thought food digested better in the dark, so a dining room located in the basement was considered the best spot in which to eat.
A glance into a bedroom was considered improper if viewed by a visitor, so bedrooms were located on the second floor.
People were shy about having water closets, so they disguised fixtures as dressers and cabinets. Tubs were enclosed in wooden boxes that resembled large chests. People went to great lengths to hide toilets from view. In some homes, they were behind a curtain or screen, or even in a room of their own.
Children rarely saw their parents. A special trip was made to the nursery each evening, and the visit lasted about an hour.
Women made pictures, wreaths, and bouquets from their own hair or the hair of a family member to be framed and displayed in the parlor.
Some rocking chairs were designed to disguise a chamber pot. People had to be careful not to rock too quickly!
A lot of men used macassar oil to slick back their hair. Crocheted doilies, called antimacassars, were put over the backs of chairs to keep this grease from staining the furniture.
For a lady to show her ankles was considered very risque!
To control insects, many people kept a HEDGEHOG in the basement. It curled up and slept in the day, but roamed around the dark kitchen at night eating cockroaches and other insects.
Some ladies suffered with facial hair,or "Bad Hair Days" or hated darning.
We are happy to tell you that it is now illegal for a husband to strike or beat his wife. His right of "moderate correction" was first questioned in the time of Charles the Second, and is now indefensible. A wife has the right to the custody of her child up to seven years of age. The personal property of a wife passes to her husband absolutely on her marriage, but her real (i.e.freehold) property can only be alienated by him during her life with her consent
In Victorian times, darning stockings was a task ladies undertook - time consuming and laborious.

Can you help me with ideas for my childrens bedroom?
Jazzy
I have 2 girls. 1 and 3. My 1 year old is almost 2 but very advanced for her age. She speaks very clearly. My 3 year old will be 4 july4th. The theme is dora & puppies. What kind of beds should I use? Twin over full bunkbed? my 3 yr old is tall she looks and talks like a 5 yr old.. So she'll be needing something like a twin? Bit will that look right?? Any ideas?
Answer
I would get twin beds or if the room is big enough full size beds or twin boards that can convert to full. Girls, unlike boys, tend to tire of the whole bunk bed idea quick.
Also, I might be biased because I now have 3 girls and 2 boys and buying bedroom furniture over and over isn't part of the plan or budget..lol I use bedding to kiddie up their rooms.
Using your theme, I would go for something like this where the bedding isn't exactly the same for their beds, but coordinated (scroll to the pink set).

Here are some bedroom sets. Personally, I bought my mattresses locally because I wanted to see the quality and knew I could bargain with them on the price since I was buying more than one set:
