EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the elegance of the 1880s with these two fashionable women donning Jays' mantles, the must-have winter essential of 1884. The first woman wears a mantle adorned with a luxurious fur collar and plush velvet ribbons, while the second dons a mantle featuring an intricate rope or cord design and a tall, ornate hat with plumes. The mantles, also known as capes or cloaks, were a staple in Victorian women's winter wardrobes, providing both style and warmth. The bustle silhouette, a defining characteristic of the era, is accentuated by the fullness of the mantles, which cascade gracefully behind the women. The aristocratic air of sophistication is further emphasized by the women's hats, which are adorned with elaborate ribbons, plumes, and other decorative elements. These mantles were not only functional, but also a symbol of wealth and status, making them a worthy investment for women of the time. This image, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the late 19th century, where elegance and style reigned supreme.
