EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Victorian era with this stunning print of an advert for Jay's mourning clothing from 1893. The large and well-assorted stock of mourning costumes, mantles, and millinery is showcased in all its glory, offering immediate wear for those in need.
In the late 19th century, mourning attire was a crucial aspect of social etiquette following the death of a loved one. Women were expected to dress in somber black garments as a sign of respect and grief. This advert captures the essence of Victorian mourning fashion with its intricate details and elegant designs.
The women depicted in the advert exude sophistication and grace as they model Jay's latest offerings. The puff sleeves, mutton leg shoulders, and gigot sleeves are all characteristic features of Victorian mourning dress that add a touch of drama to the overall look.
Widows especially would have turned to establishments like Jay's for their mourning attire needs during this period. The attention to detail and quality craftsmanship evident in these garments speak volumes about the dedication to providing fashionable yet appropriate clothing for such solemn occasions.
Transport yourself back to 1893 with this print that offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian mourning customs and fashion trends. Experience history come alive through this exquisite piece from Mary Evans Prints Online.
