EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the elegance and intricacy of Victorian-era lingerie as depicted in this photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image showcases a collection of exquisite lingerie items from the year 1851, including an embroidered casaque (jacket) and mantlet with scallop edges, two lace caps, a chemisette, and the cuffs of two undersleeves trimmed with ribbon and volans. The embroidered casaque, with its delicate floral patterns and intricate designs, would have been a cherished possession of a Victorian woman. The mantlet, a detachable shoulder piece, adds an extra layer of sophistication to the ensemble. The lace caps, adorned with delicate frills and ribbons, would have been worn to keep the hair neatly contained under the large bonnets that were popular during this era. The chemisette, a thin, short-sleeved garment worn under the bodice, would have provided support and modesty. The undersleeves, trimmed with ribbon and volans (a type of lace), would have been worn to protect the arms from the rough fabric of the outer garments. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian-era lingerie, a time when undergarments were as much a work of art as they were functional. The intricate embroidery, lace, and ribbon details showcase the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into creating these beautiful items. The scallop edges and engageantes (the decorative edging on the mantlet and casaque) add a feminine touch to the otherwise practical garments. The Victorian era was a time of opulence and elegance, and this collection of lingerie items is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the fashion of the time. This photograph is not only a historical record but also a reminder of the importance of the role that undergarments play in shaping our identity and expressing our femininity.
