The quick answer is. . . if it's meant to be seen, corset and other
stuff. Perhaps not as tightly laced. My mom used to do something
similar, though she didn't corset! On Sunday mornings she got dressed
except for her dress- wore a robe to cook breakfast. After breakfast
she finished dressing. Saved her good dress from spots.
Tangentally, if you lace up and wait an hour or so, you can tighten
once more before your day clothes are put on. Found that out by
driving to the museum in underclothes covered with a jacket. When I
got out I was too loose and had to snug down the corset before adding
the top layer! And I do _not_ tight-lace.

Hi All,
I'm getting ready for a vacation of sorts and was going to work
on a winter morning gown, I'm using ageless patterns #1235, 1893
morning gown w/revers collarette, in bright purple wool broadcloth
and will do something screamimgly bright for the embroidery on the
revers. If anyone has made this I could use some guidance on the
center back seam with the L shape at the waist, If not I hope it
works out in the muslin.
My actual questions is would this be worn over a corset? Is a
morning gown the equivalent of a modern bathrobe, put it on over a
nightgown for a family breakfast before dressing for the day or is
it put on over the day's underclothes so all you need to do is put
on the final layers in order to be presentable to go out?
Any and all help appreciated although I'm on digest so won't see
replies until later.
