EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Crinolette from 1880. Crafted with linen and wire, this stunning piece was created by the renowned firm W. S. Thompson, as indicated by its label at the Fashion Museum Bath. The Crinolette, an essential undergarment in Victorian fashion, revolutionized women's clothing during the 19th century. Its structured frame provided support and shape to voluminous skirts, creating a fashionable silhouette that epitomized elegance and sophistication. This photograph captures not only the physical structure of the crinoline but also its symbolic significance in shaping women's attire during this era. The delicate cage-like design is meticulously crafted, showcasing both artistry and functionality. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where fashion played a pivotal role in defining societal norms. The bustle of fabric cascading over the crinoline hints at opulence while simultaneously highlighting the intricacies involved in constructing such garments. Gifted to the Fashion Museum Bath by Helen Gordon-Thompson, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to our rich sartorial history. It reminds us of how clothing can be more than mere fabric; it can be an expression of identity and status. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images, we are invited to appreciate not just the garment itself but also its cultural significance within Victorian society.
