1860 Bathing Dresses Espadrilles Napoleon Snood Swim Wear
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the elegant world of French swimwear from the late 19th century, as depicted in this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library. The image showcases a collection of exquisite costumes de bains de mers, or bathing costumes, for women and children, dating from around 1860 to 1870. The women's swimwear features intricately designed dresses made from lightweight fabrics, perfect for the seaside. These dresses often include high necklines, long sleeves, and full skirts, providing both modesty and sun protection. Some dresses are adorned with delicate lace or embroidery, adding an extra touch of elegance. Children's swimwear is equally charming, with simple yet adorable outfits featuring snoods, or bonnets, to protect their heads from the sun. Espadrilles, a popular footwear choice during this era, are also seen in the photograph, adding to the authenticity of the scene. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insight into the fashion trends and societal norms of the Victorian era. The Napoleon III period, which spanned from 1852 to 1870, was a time of opulence and luxury, and this collection of bathing costumes perfectly encapsulates the elegance and refinement of the era. Whether you're an avid history buff, a fashion enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this photograph is a must-see. It invites us to imagine a time when a day at the beach was an occasion for grandeur and style, and serves as a reminder that fashion has always been a reflection of the times in which we live.
