EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this stunning Victorian-era Fur-Edge Skirt from 1894, captured in this exquisite photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library. The skirt, which features a single layer of fabric, is a beautiful example of the intricate and ornate designs popular during the late 19th century. The under-skirt of this costume is adorned with box pleats, adding volume and shape to the wearer's silhouette. The high-waisted circle over-skirt, meanwhile, boasts a button detail at the waist, as well as a yoke that adds definition to the waistline. The skirt's most striking feature, however, is the fur border that edges both the under-skirt and over-skirt, adding a touch of luxury and elegance to the ensemble. The gigot sleeves, which are fitted at the upper arm and flare out at the elbow, are a hallmark of the Edwardian era. The embroidered detail on the sleeves adds an extra layer of visual interest, while the string fastenings at the wrists allow for a customizable fit. The skirt is completed with a reticule, a small handbag that was a popular accessory during this time period. The history of this Fur-Edge Skirt is as captivating as its appearance. It represents the opulence and refinement of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, a time when fashion was an art form and women's clothing was a symbol of wealth and status. This photograph is a rare and precious glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of high society and the intricate details of women's fashion during the late 1800s. The Fur-Edge Skirt is a true testament to the beauty and elegance of this era, and a reminder of the rich history of fashion that has come before us.
