EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the elegant world of 1880s summer fashion with this advertisement for Nicholson's women's clothing. The image features a graceful woman dressed in the latest Nicholson's summer attire, showcasing a tennis costume made from plain or checked French beiges cassimere cloths or foules. The outfit is accentuated with silk laces in vibrant colors, adding a pop of brightness to the monochromatic ensemble. The woman's fitted jacket, with its embroidered details and bustle, embodies the Victorian era's fashionable silhouette. The bustle, a popular feature during this time, adds volume and shape to the back of the dress, creating an hourglass figure. The tennis costume, a testament to the growing popularity of sports and physical activity for women, is both functional and fashionable. The 1880s were a period of transformation in women's fashion, with an increasing focus on comfort and practicality alongside style. Nicholson's, a leading fashion brand of the time, catered to this trend by offering clothing suitable for various activities, such as tennis, while maintaining the elegance and sophistication expected of Victorian women. This advertisement not only showcases the beauty and intricacy of the clothing but also highlights the spirit of the era – one of grace, elegance, and the pursuit of new experiences. The image invites us to imagine a sunny day on the tennis court, with the sound of laughter and the scent of fresh flowers in the air. A true testament to the enduring allure of fashion history, this advertisement for Nicholson's women's summer clothing is a must-see for anyone interested in the fashion of the 1880s.
