EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases two stunning Victorian-era costumes worn by a young girl during the month of July in 1869. The first ensemble features a purple polonaise dress with a crinoline skirt and a habit-shirt beneath. The polonaise, characterized by its vertical lines and bustle at the back, was a popular choice for formal occasions during the late Victorian era. The purple hue adds an elegant touch to the outfit, making it perfect for a special occasion. The second costume is equally impressive, with a white and gold polonaise that boasts a triple skirt and an open tunic. The triple skirt, consisting of three layers of fabric, adds volume and fullness to the dress, while the open tunic allows for a peek of the habit-shirt beneath. The white and gold color palette exudes a regal and sophisticated air, making this costume a fitting choice for a formal event or a theatrical performance. The young girl in the photograph wears the triple skirt with the back over-skirt hitched up with a sash bow, revealing a hint of her habit-shirt. This playful touch adds a touch of whimsy to the otherwise formal attire, making it a delightful representation of the Victorian era's fashion trends for children. The intricate details of these costumes, from the striped habit-shirts to the triple skirts and open tunics, offer a glimpse into the rich history of Victorian fashion and the importance placed on formal attire during this period. This photograph is a must-have for any history buff, fashion enthusiast, or collector of Victorian-era memorabilia.
