EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Afternoon Costume 1896" from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the elegant and intricate world of Victorian ladies' fashion. The image showcases a woman dressed in the latest trends of the 1890s, exuding an air of sophistication and refinement. The woman's dress is a beautiful example of the high fashion of the time, featuring a fitted bodice with a high neckline that extends to cover the chin, adorned with delicate lace and ribbon detailing. The sleeves are long and bell-shaped, with ruffles and lace caps that add a playful touch to the otherwise formal attire. The skirt of the dress is full and voluminous, with multiple layers of fabric gathered at the waist and falling gracefully to the ground. The hemline is ankle-length, reflecting the modesty and demureness expected of women during this era. The woman's headdress completes the ensemble, with a large, ornate butterfly design made of feathers, flowers, and ribbons perched atop her head. The headdress adds a whimsical and feminine touch to the outfit, making it a true standout of the Victorian era's fashion scene. The attention to detail in this photograph is truly remarkable, from the intricate lacework on the bodice to the delicate embroidery on the sleeves and the elegant curves of the skirt. This image is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating fashionable clothing during the Victorian era, and serves as a fascinating reminder of the beauty and elegance of this bygone era.
