2. Victorian fashion comprises the various fashions
and trends in British culture that emerged and
developed in the United Kingdom and the British
Empirethroughout the Victorian era, roughly 1830s
to 1900s. The period saw many changes in fashion,
including changes in clothing, architecture, literature,
and the decorative and visual arts.
By 1907, clothing was increasingly factory-made
and often sold in large, fixed price department
stores. Custom sewing and home sewing were still
significant, but on the decline. New machinery and
materials developed clothing in many ways.
The introduction of the lock-stitch sewing machine in
mid-century simplified both home and boutique
dressmaking, and enabled a fashion for lavish
application of trim that would have been prohibitively
time-consuming if done by hand. Lace machinery
made lace at a fraction of the cost of the old
developed new, cheap, bright dyes that displaced
the old animal or vegetable dyes.

5. The Victorian era of British history (and that of the British
Empire) was the period of Queen Victoria's reign from 20
June 1837 until her death, on 22 January 1901. It was a long
period of peace, prosperity, refined sensibilities and national
self-confidence for Britain.[1] Some scholars date the
beginning of the period in terms of sensibilities and political
concerns to the passage of the Reform Act 1832. The era
was preceded by the Georgian period and followed by
the Edwardian period. The later half of the Victorian age
roughly coincided with the first portion of the Belle
Époque era of continental Europe and the Gilded Age of the
United States.

6. Culturally there was a transition away from the rationalism of the Georgian period and
toward romanticism and mysticism with regard to religion, social values, and arts.[2] In
international relations the era was a long period of peace, known as the Pax Britannica,
and economic, colonial, and industrial consolidation, temporarily disrupted by
the Crimean War in 1854. The end of the period saw the Boer War. Domestically, the
agenda was increasingly liberal with a number of shifts in the direction of
gradual political reform, industrial reform and the widening of the voting franchise.
Two especially important figures in this period of British history are the prime ministers
Gladstone and Disraeli, whose contrasting views changed the course of history. Disraeli,
favoured by the queen, was a gregarious Tory. His rival Gladstone, a Liberal distrusted
by the Queen, served more terms and oversaw much of the overall law-making of the
era.

7. The population of England and Wales combined almost , doubled from 16.8 million in
1851 to 30.5 million in 1901.[3] Scotland's population also rose rapidly from 2.8 million in
1851 to 4.4 million in 1901. Ireland's population decreased rapidly, from 8.2 million in
1841 to less than 4.5 million in 1901, mostly due to the Great Famine.[4] At the same
time, around 15 millionemigrants left the United Kingdom in the Victorian era and settled
mostly in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.[5]
During the early part of the era, the House of Commons was headed by the two parties,
the Whigs and the Tories. From the late 1850s onwards, the Whigs became the Liberals;
the Tories became the Conservatives. These parties were led by many prominent
statesmen including Lord Melbourne, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Derby, Lord
Palmerston, William Ewart Gladstone,Benjamin Disraeli, and Lord Salisbury. The
unsolved problems relating to Irish Home Rule played a great part in politics in the later
Victorian era, particularly in view of Gladstone's determination to achieve a political
settlement. Southern Ireland achieved independence in 1922.
