Step back in time to the fashionable world of Paris in February, 1856, as depicted in this image from the pages of the Illustrated London News. The print showcases an array of elegant and intricately designed dresses and headpieces that were all the rage during this period. The first dress featured is a stunning robe of white moire antique, with a low corsage, short sleeves, and a small lace flounce ruche. The coiffure, or hairstyle, is adorned with a cache-peigne, forming a bandeau upon the hair. A second dress is a robe of white crape, embellished with seven bouillons of black crape and small choux en violettes de Parme. The edge of the half-skirt is trimmed with three rows of white crisped silken fringe. Another dress is a corsage decollete, with a square of white velvet epingle forming the front of the corsage, and short sleeves bouillons trimmed with fringe. The head-dress of this dress is adorned with two ostrich feathers. A robe of tulle with three flounces is also shown, with the corsage en draperie and head-dresses of liserons bleus, forming a kind of diadem upon the bandeau. A robe of black velvet is trimmed with a small black silken fringe, and the head-dress is of ribbons Algerians, mixed with gold and silver threads. This fascinating glimpse into Victorian fashion provides a window into the opulence and elegance of the past, showcasing the intricate details and textures of the clothing and accessories that defined the era. From the crinolines and hoopskirts to the velvet and silk fabrics, each piece is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time.
