Initial read-through
Overall, prose is excellent, if British. (I had to look up 'cater for' to verify it was a correct UKism) I'll await your response to the three areas I've identified, and will place the article on hold in the mean time. Jclemens (talk) 06:25, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
 * "The publicity traveled as far as America,[11] and the outfit was promoted by proponents of Victorian dress reform,[5] as Reynolds clearly intended." That last clause needs a citation--I can't tell if the citation for the next sentence covers it, as it does not appear to be online.
 * the source says "... Tessie wore her rational costume not simply as a functional costume on that September day, but in fact as publicity and as a deliberate public endorsement for rational dress for women.", which I think covers it. WormTT(talk)
 * There are five separate citations to the Barlow article, apparently one per page. Is that really the best way to present it?  It seems almost to be artificially inflating the reference count, which is unnecessary, or distracting from the fact that nearly all the details of the subject's life appear to have come from this one source.
 * That makes sense. I was experimenting with sfn at the time, and though I didn't use the template there, I was getting used to citing specific pages. That said, it's clearly not useful here, so I've moved it to one. WormTT(talk)
 * Likewise, there are two separate references to the Brighton page about Ms. Barlow's work.
 * That was just me using the same source twice and not realising! WormTT(talk)
 * "love letters" is probably overlinked.
 * Is it? I can only see one link... WormTT(talk)
 * Thanks Jclemens, glad you enjoyed the article, and I really appreciate the positive comment about the prose - an area I'm always concerned about. Hopefully that covers all your concerns, let me know if you spot anything else. <b style="text-shadow:0 -1px #DDD,1px 0 #DDD,0 1px #DDD,-1px 0 #DDD; color:#000;">Worm</b>TT(<b style="color:#060;">talk</b>) 13:20, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * And thank you for addressing the matters promptly once you got back. Jclemens (talk) 05:05, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
