1850s Arranging Caps Garland Held Jackets Lace Lappets Ornamented Plaid Ribbon Seam Tiny Trim Waist Wreaths
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the Victorian era of the 1850s, where the art of costume and flower arranging reached new heights. Two elegantly dressed women, adorned in exquisite attire, engage in the delightful activity of arranging a pink garland, their faces filled with joy and concentration. The women wear striking contrasting lace jackets: one black, adorned with delicate pink ribbon trim, and the other white, featuring intricate lace lappets. Their green plaid dresses, without a waist seam, add to their ethereal beauty. The black ribbon, held in place by tiny bands, ornaments their dresses, creating a harmonious blend of colors. The historical significance of these costumes is evident, as the lace jackets and green plaid dresses were popular fashion choices during this period. The absence of a waist seam in the green plaid dress was a departure from the traditional corseted silhouette, reflecting a shift towards more comfortable and practical clothing. The women's headpieces, consisting of caps and wreaths, further enhance their Victorian charm. The intricate detailing on their caps and the delicate pink wreaths made of flowers add a touch of elegance and sophistication to their ensembles. As they arrange the pink garland, the women embody the spirit of the Victorian era, where the art of flower arranging was considered an essential skill for ladies of the time. The garland, made up of a variety of pink blooms, adds a burst of color and vibrancy to the scene, creating a visually stunning tableau. This photograph is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Victorian women and their love for fashion and the art of flower arranging.
