EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1863, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a charming scene of babies dressed in the fashionable attire of the time. The image features two infants, one wearing long clothes, possibly a christening robe, and the other dressed in short clothes with vandyked sleeves and a bodice. The long clothes, adorned with tucked panels and intricate lace insertions, exude an air of elegance and sophistication, reflecting the Victorian era's love for ornate detailing. The baby's head is crowned with a delicate bonnet, completing the ensemble. In contrast, the short clothes consist of a habit-shirt and sleeves, which were popular for everyday wear. The vandyked sleeves and bodice add a touch of style and sophistication to the simple outfit. The chemisette peeking out from under the shirt adds an extra layer of warmth and protection. The babies' attire is reminiscent of the straw-filled pads commonly used to pad out the bodies of infants during this period, giving them a plump and round appearance. The use of straw padding was a common practice to make the babies look healthier and more attractive. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of the past and the care taken in dressing infants during the Victorian era. The intricate details of the long clothes and the simplicity of the short clothes highlight the contrasting styles of the time and the importance placed on appearance, even in the youngest members of society.
