EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion print from 1895 showcases a fashionable blouse that embodies the opulence and elegance of the late Victorian era. The blouse features an over-exaggerated leg-of-mutton sleeve design, which was a popular trend during this time period. The sleeves are made of cotton, but the true foundation of this combination is the shimmering and rustling silk material that adds a touch of luxury and sophistication. The high neckline of the blouse is narrow and elegant, drawing attention to the woman's delicate collarbones and face. The waist is cinched in, accentuating the hourglass figure that was in vogue during the 1890s. The puffed sleeves, which are reminiscent of gigot sleeves, add volume and fullness to the upper body, creating a balanced and visually appealing silhouette. The intricate lace detailing on the blouse adds an extra layer of refinement and elegance, making it a true statement piece. The lace, with its delicate patterns and intricate designs, would have been costly and time-consuming to produce, adding to the overall value and desirability of the blouse. This fashion print is a testament to the intricacy and beauty of Victorian-era fashion, with its emphasis on luxurious materials, elegant designs, and feminine silhouettes. The blouse is a must-have for any fashion enthusiast or collector of historical clothing, providing a glimpse into the opulent and intriguing world of late 19th-century fashion.
