Regency woman plays antique piano as another woman sings — AI art by @Troxley
@Troxley · 9/28/2026
In this alternate Victorian society, the visible navel has no particular association with indecency; generations have grown up regarding it much as they regard a woman’s face, hands, or forearms. The fashionable two-piece gown deliberately frames the waist, with high necklines, long sleeves, and full skirts maintaining the era’s sense of propriety while leaving the abdomen uncovered. Etiquette therefore focuses on the style and occasion of a garment rather than whether the navel can be seen: a beautifully tailored open-waisted gown might be perfectly proper for shopping, afternoon tea, a railway journey, or even a formal gathering. Here, two ladies spend time in the drawing room making music.
