EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to August 1868 with this elegant and fashionable bonnet from the Victorian era, as depicted in this photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library. The bonnet, a popular choice for women during this period, is characterized by its unique shape, which sits at the front of the head and features lappets that are fastened beneath the chin. This particular bonnet boasts an intricate trimming of yellow flowers and a pom-pon, adding an air of sophistication and playfulness to the ensemble. The bonnet is accompanied by a casaque, or waistcoat, and a watteau skirt, both typical components of Victorian women's fashion. The pelerine, a cape-like collar, is also visible, further enhancing the overall look. This image offers a glimpse into the history of fashion during the late 19th century, showcasing the intricate details and attention to design that were hallmarks of the era. The yellow flowers and pom-pon trimming add a pop of color and texture to the otherwise monochromatic outfit, making this bonnet a true standout. The bonnet's shape, with its fringed lappets and chin-length trim, was a popular choice for women during this time, reflecting the desire for both practicality and style. The bonnet's ability to protect the wearer's head and face from the elements, while still allowing for an elegant and fashionable appearance, made it a staple of Victorian women's wardrobes. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history of fashion and the enduring allure of the Victorian era. With its intricate details and timeless charm, it invites us to imagine the stories and experiences of the women who wore such bonnets and to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating them.
