EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 1880s and marvel at the elegance and intricacy of Victorian women's fashion as depicted in this side view photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library. The woman in the image wears a high-necked jacket with a plain, yet striking, plaited striped design, paired with a full, ledged bustle skirt. The bustle, a popular fashion trend of the era, accentuates the female figure and adds an air of sophistication to the ensemble. The woman accessorizes her outfit with a fan, delicately held in her right hand, and a fashionable hat adorned with a ribbon and feathers, resting on the table beside her. A parasol, not visible in the photograph, would have been an essential accessory for protecting the fair complexion of Victorian women from the sun. The jacket, with its fitted sleeves and narrow waistline, complements the voluminous skirt, creating a perfect balance between form and function. The high neckline and long sleeves of the jacket offer modesty and coverage, while the striped pattern adds a touch of modernity to the traditional Victorian style. The photograph captures the woman's profile, allowing us to fully appreciate the intricate details of her outfit, from the delicate stitching on the jacket to the elegant pleats of the bustle skirt. This image offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of Victorian women, a time when elegance, refinement, and attention to detail were the hallmarks of women's clothing.
