Victorian era final
1. Victiorian Era
Women's fashion
In the 1840s and 1850s, women's growns
developed wide puffed sleeves. Dresses
were simple and pale. Realistic flower
trimming were on dresses. Petticoats, corsets,
chemises were worn under gowns. By the 1850s the
number of petticoats was reduced and the crinoline
was worn; as such the size of the skirts expanded. Day
dresses had a solid bodice and evening gowns had a
very low neckline and were worn off the shoulder with
shawls. In the 1860s, the skirts became flatter at the
front and projected out more behind the woman.
2. Day dresses had wide pagoda sleeves
and high necklines with lace or tatted
collars. Evening dresses had low necklines
and short sleeves, and were
worn with short gloves or fingerless
lace or crocheted mitts.
In the 1870s, uncorseted tea gowns were
introduced for informal entertaining at home and steadily
grew in popularity. Bustles were used to replace the
crinoline to hold the skirts up behind the woman, even for
"seaside dresses". In the 1880s, riding habits had a
matching jacket and skirt (without a bustle), a high-
collared shirt or chemisette, and a top hat with a veil.
Hunting costumes had draped ankle-length skirts worn
with boots or gaiters. Clothing worn when out walking
had a long jacket and skirt, worn with the bustle, and a
small hat or bonnet. Travelers wore long coats like
dusters.
3. In the 1890s, Women's wear in the last decade of the
Victorian Era was characterised by high collars, held in
place by collar stays, and stiff steel boning in long line
bodices. By this time, there were neither crinolines nor
bustles. Women opted for the tiny wasp waist instead.
In the 1870s, the fad of hoop skirts had faded and women
strived for a slimmer style. The dresses
were extremely tight around the corseted
torso and the waist and upper legs;
Punch ran many cartoons showing
women who could neither sit not climb
stairs in their tight dresses.The crinoline
was replaced by the bustle in the rear.
Small hats were perched towards the
front of the head,
4. over the forehead. To complement the small hat, women
wore their hair in elaborate curls. Some women wore
hairpieces called "scalpettes" and "frizzettes" to add to
the volume of their hair.
The silhouette changed once again as the Victorian era
drew to a close. The shape was essentially an inverted
triangle, with a wide-brimmed hat on top, a full upper
body with puffed sleeves, no bustle, and a skirt that
narrowed at the ankles (the hobble skirt was a fad
shortly after the end of the Victorian era). The enormous
wide-brimmed hats were covered with elaborate
creations of silk flowers, ribbons, and above all, exotic
plumes; hats sometimes included entire exotic birds that
had been stuffed. Many of these plumes came from birds
in the Florida everglades, which were nearly entirely
decimated by overhunting.
