C 1870 Dress Maker Skating Suitable Winters
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming fashion plate, titled "The Little Dressmaker," depicts a delightful scene of children enjoying a wintry day outdoors, engaged in the popular pastime of skating. Dressed in suitable attire for the chilly weather, the children are shown in a group, each wearing elegant costumes that reflect the fashion trends of the late 19th century, around 1870. The little dressmaker, perhaps the mother or older sister of the group, is seen in the foreground, carefully adjusting the hem of one of the children's dresses. She wears a fashionable, voluminous skirt and a neat, high-necked blouse, accessorized with a shawl and a hat adorned with a ribbon and feathers. Her attentiveness to the children's clothing suggests her love and pride in their appearance, as well as her skill and expertise as a dressmaker. The other children in the group are also dressed in fashionable outfits appropriate for the season. The girls wear long, full skirts with petticoats, high collars, and gloves, while the boys are dressed in knitted sweaters, trousers, and caps. All of them are bundled up against the cold, with scarves wrapped around their necks and mittens on their hands. The wintry landscape in the background adds to the charm of the scene, with trees bare of leaves and a frosty landscape stretching out in the distance. The children's joy and excitement are palpable as they glide across the ice, their faces filled with smiles and laughter. This historical image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when children's winter activities were simpler, and the importance of fashion extended beyond just adult clothing.
