EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this stunning 1899 visiting costume, featuring a dark green dress adorned with intricate white floral applique trim. The open jacket bodice showcases a puffed upper sleeve, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. Underneath, a waistcoat and lace high-necked blouse complete the top half of the ensemble. The wrap-over gored skirt with its curved front and voluminous layers completes the look, creating an elegant silhouette. Accessories of the era are not forgotten, with a straw hat adorned with ribbons and flowers adding a final touch of charm. The model sits on a bench, holding a book, adding to the serene and peaceful atmosphere of the photograph. This costume represents the transition period between the Victorian and Edwardian eras, with its Victorian-inspired high neck and Edwardian-inspired gored skirt. The intricate details of the applique trim and the delicate lace on the blouse showcase the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating fashionable garments during this time. The 1890s were a decade of change and innovation in fashion, with women's clothing becoming more fitted and feminine, while still retaining a sense of practicality. This visiting costume is a beautiful example of the balance between fashion and function during this period. This photograph, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of fashion from over a century ago.
