EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from January 1870, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the elegant and intricately designed fashions for women as they welcomed the New Year during the Victorian era. The photograph, a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the time, features a group of women dressed in the latest Parisian styles. The women's attire is characterized by voluminous skirts and the distinctive "bustle" silhouette, which was all the rage in 1870s fashion. The bustle, created by padding or padding under the skirt, gave the illusion of an hourglass figure and added a dramatic flair to the dresses. The skirts were often made of heavy fabrics, such as velvet or satin, and were adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments. The bodices of the dresses were fitted and accentuated the women's waistlines, while the jackets or shawls added an extra layer of warmth and style. The collars and cuffs were typically made of lace or other delicate materials, adding a feminine touch to the outfits. The women in the photograph exude confidence and grace as they pose for the camera, their elegant attire reflecting the refined taste and wealth of the era. The New Year of 1870 marked a time of prosperity and innovation, and the fashion industry was no exception. This photograph provides a glimpse into the world of Victorian women's fashion, a world of beauty, elegance, and opulence that continues to captivate us today.
