EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 1883 Directory Costume, as depicted in this vintage photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the elegant and fashionable attire of the late Victorian era. The woman in the image wears a polonaise, a popular style of dress during this time period. The polonaise is characterized by its kilted, or pleated, skirt drawn up at one side to create a slanting line, which adds an air of sophistication and grace to the wearer. The under-skirt of the costume features a double border, adding an extra layer of intricacy and detail to the outfit. The bodice of the dress is fitted and features a cape collar, which adds a dramatic and theatrical touch to the ensemble. A sash is worn at an angle around the hip, further accentuating the figure and adding a sense of movement and fluidity to the costume. The chemisette, a layer of fabric worn underneath the bodice to provide support and shape, is also visible in the photograph. The bodice itself is likely made of a heavy, structured fabric such as velvet or brocade, which was popular during the Victorian era. The overall effect of this costume is one of opulence and elegance, reflecting the fashionable trends of the time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the world of Victorian fashion and the intricate and beautiful clothing that defined the era. It is a reminder of the rich history of fashion and the way it has evolved over time, as well as a testament to the enduring beauty and timelessness of classic styles.
