EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the fashionable world of December 1857, as depicted in this wood engraving from the Illustrated London News. The print showcases four distinct fashionable outfits for the season, each designed to suit different occasions. First, a morning costume is presented in pale grey cashmere, featuring a robe de chambre trimmed with broad fancy braid ribbon and velvet buttons. The collar and under-sleeves are made of fine cambric, delicately adorned with narrow Valenciennes. Next, another morning costume is displayed in grey satinette, lightly wadded and lined with white silk. The collar and under-sleeves are made of worked muslin, adding a touch of elegance to the ensemble. Moving on to outdoor wear, the first option is a brown silk dress, complete with a pelerine berthe that is trimmed with velvet and edged with a row of chenille fringe. This outfit is perfect for braving the winter weather in style. Lastly, a rich green moire antique dress is showcased, which includes the "Alliance Shawl." This versatile accessory combines the functions of a shawl and a mantle, made of fine Saxony cloth, and offering a convenient and graceful winter wrap. The Alliance Shawl was a registered article and could be obtained at Messrs. Farmer and Rogers' in Regent-street. This intriguing print, with its detailed description, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashionable world of Victorian Britain. The full-length, profile view of the woman, wearing a crinoline and hoop skirt, is a testament to the opulence and elegance of the era. The black and white, wood engraving, with its intricate details, transports us back to a time when fashion was an art form, and the Illustrated London News was the go-to source for the latest trends.
