Paris Fashions for December, 1860: A Glimpse into Victorian Elegance This photograph, hailing from the pages of the "Illustrated London News" in 1860, offers an enchanting look into the world of Victorian fashion. The three distinct ensembles showcase the refined and intricately detailed clothing that defined the era. First, the Visiting Dress features a robe of plain color with a wide black velvet band at the hem, edged with rose-colored taffeta ruching. The long, hanging sleeve is bordered with matching velvet and adorned with four velvet macaroons. Next, the Walking Dress boasts a dark-colored merino fabric, long-waisted, with a velvet band trimmed with guipure, attached in front and behind the shoulders. The waistband, fringed out at the long flowing ends, and fastening with two large flat bows, is also of the same material as the robe. The mauve-colored silk bonnet completes the look. Lastly, the Evening Dress is an elegant masterpiece made of black silk, ornamented with six flounces separated and surmounted by a silk plaiting of the same color as the robe, edged with narrow lace. The low-necked corsage descends with a long point in front of the waist, while the graduating trimming of silk plaiting adorns the shoulders. The sleeves consist of three small flounces, and the under-sleeves are of white tulle. The simple headdress is composed of marguerites attached to the back hair, skillfully concealing the comb. These exquisite designs offer a fascinating glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of Parisian fashion during the Victorian era.
