EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Victorian era with this enchanting image of an Aesthetic Maiden, a fashionable and artistic costume idea from 1884. The elegant maiden dons a loose-flowing half skirt, evoking a sense of grace and fluidity. The bodice, meanwhile, is a classical design with a high waistline and a ribbon belt, adding an element of sophistication. The sleeves, long and loose, are adorned with three buttons on the outside of the shoulders, a unique detail that adds character to the ensemble. The best colorings for this costume, as suggested by the original description, include dark blue serge and sunflowers, white with daffodils, sickly green, and passion flowers, terracotta with gold, light blue, and claret. The maiden holds a lyre in her hand, a symbol of music and artistry, while a fillet adorns her head, completing the ethereal and artistic look. The Aesthetic Movement, which emerged in the late 19th century, emphasized the importance of beauty and art in all aspects of life. This maiden's costume reflects the movement's influence, with its emphasis on natural beauty, flowing lines, and artistic details. With its historical significance and timeless elegance, this Aesthetic Maiden costume is sure to captivate and inspire anyone who sees it.
