Entering the Spring Fashions of Early 1870: A Quartet of Elegant Women As March 1870 dawned, the fashionable women of Paris were eagerly embracing the latest trends in spring attire. In this photograph, four stylish women are depicted as they step out in their visiting costumes, reflecting the refined elegance and grace of the era. The first woman on the left dons a striking dress with a full, voluminous skirt, known as a bustle. The bodice of her dress is adorned with intricate lace and ribbon trim, while the overskirt features a delicate floral pattern. Her jacket, worn over the dress, boasts a fitted bodice and long, flowing sleeves. The second woman, dressed in a similar style, wears a dress with a more subtle, yet elegant, floral pattern. Her jacket, too, features a fitted bodice and long sleeves, but the overskirt of her dress is adorned with a delicate, sheer fabric that adds a touch of delicacy to her ensemble. The third woman, on the right, showcases a dress with a bold, geometric pattern. Her jacket, which is less ornate than the others, allows the vibrant pattern of her dress to take center stage. The final woman, dressed in a more subdued ensemble, wears a dress with a solid color bodice and a skirt adorned with intricate, hand-stitched floral details. Together, these women represent the diverse and captivating world of early 1870s fashion, as they enter the spring season with grace, style, and an unwavering commitment to the latest Parisian trends.
