EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the late Victorian era, circa 1859-60, showcases the fashionable attire of a young girl and woman. The girl, dressed in a brown pelisse or jacket, dons a costume that reflects the popular trend of vertical trimming. The jacket body boasts long basques at the back, adding structure and shape to the dress. Ornamented with black dots and a gathered trim, the jacket adds an elegant touch to the ensemble. The woman, possibly the girl's mother or a relative, complements the young girl's outfit with a similar style of dress. Her brown dress also features a jacket body with long basques, but with a mantle or cape draped over her shoulders. The sleeves of both the girl's and woman's dresses are long and flowing, adding to the overall Victorian aesthetic. The intricate detailing of the dresses, with their ornamented trim and dots, reflects the fashionable tastes of the time. The high necklines and modest silhouettes are characteristic of the Victorian era, emphasizing modesty and elegance. The use of vertical trimming was a popular trend during this period, as it elongated the figure and added visual interest to the dress. This photograph offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the Victorian era, showcasing the timeless beauty and elegance of women's and girls' clothing during this period. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of historical fashion and the importance of preserving and celebrating the rich history of clothing design.
