EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1895 with this print titled "At the Dressmaker." A woman stands confidently in her chemise while the dressmaker meticulously takes her measurements. The scene captures a moment of intimate collaboration between client and couturier, as the skilled hands of the dressmaker work to create a bespoke garment for the elegant woman.
The Victorian era comes to life in this image, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into creating clothing during this period. The woman's posture exudes grace and poise, reflecting the societal expectations of femininity at that time.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported to a world where clothing was not just a practical necessity, but also a symbol of status and identity. The tape measure hanging around the dressmaker's neck serves as a reminder of the precision required in garment construction, highlighting the artistry involved in creating fashionable attire.
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library is more than just an image – it is a window into another era, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of Victorian fashion and the skill of those who brought these garments to life.
