EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the extraordinary fashion scene of 1827 France, as depicted in this print from Mary Evans Prints Online. The year 1827 was marked by a unique blend of extravagance and eccentricity in both men's and women's clothing. For the women, the fashionable silhouette featured a narrow waist, accentuated by the use of leg-of-mutton sleeves that flared outwards at the shoulder and tapered towards the wrist. These puffed sleeves were often adorned with intricate ribbons and lace, adding an air of elegance to the overall look. The hats of the time were equally impressive, with oversized structures that were adorned with an abundance of plumes and floral arrangements. These monstrosities were a testament to the opulence of the era, with each hat serving as a work of art in its own right. Men's fashion was equally over-the-top, with large, puffed coats that swathed the body, creating a voluminous silhouette. These coats were often accessorized with cravats and waistcoats, adding layers of texture and visual interest. Despite their seemingly absurd appearance, these fashions were highly sought after and worn with pride by the fashionable elite of the time. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 1820s French fashion, where excess and extravagance reigned supreme.
