2. Early 1860s:
The silhouette of women's fashion was
characterized by wide, bell-shaped skirts
supported by hoop skirts or crinolines.
Bodices featured high necklines and wide
sleeves, often with pagoda or bell-shaped
designs.
The emphasis was on a small waist, achieved
with corsets.
TIMELINE AND HISTORY
3. Mid-1860s:
(American Civil War - The Shortage of Fabrics)
Skirts became narrower and flatter in the front,
with the fullness shifting to the back.
This style, known as the elliptical or "crinolette"
silhouette, was achieved with a bustle or a pad
worn at the back of the skirt.
The bodices remained fitted, with lower necklines
and shorter sleeves.
Dark colors and muted
tones were favoured
in fabrics as a sign of
mourning.
4. Late 1860s:
Skirts began to widen again, this time with the
fullness distributed evenly around the entire
circumference.
This style, known as the "cuirass" or "princess"
silhouette, eliminated the need for a separate
bustle.
Bodices featured lower necklines, often with
square or V-shaped designs, and long, fitted
sleeves.
