EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to February 1844 and explore the fashion trends as depicted in The Illustrated London News. In this engraving, two women showcase the latest styles. On the left, a woman wears a white crape dress with a pink satin corsage. The skirt of the dress is trimmed with fluted pink satin ribbon and adorned with bouquets of flowers, creating a delicate and feminine look. Her hair is styled in a coiffure, complete with a wreath of green leaves and rosebuds. On the right, another woman dons a black velvet capote, ornamented with flowers, adding an elegant touch to her outfit. She wears a Gros de Naples pelisse, a fashionable coat made of the same material, which is trimmed with ruches. The sleeves of the pelisse descend a little below the elbows, while the under sleeves, which terminate over the wrists, are composed of muslin and feature lace ruffles. These fashionable women of 1844 demonstrate the importance of texture and color in their wardrobes, with the use of velvet, satin, muslin, and fluted ribbon. The incorporation of natural elements, such as flowers and leaves, adds to the beauty and allure of these timeless ensembles. No.1: A hair coiffure, ornamented with a wreath of green leaves and rosebuds. A white crape dress, with pink satin corsage, the skirt trimmed with fluted pink satin ribbon, and ornamented with bouquets of flowers. No.2: A black velvet capote, ornamented with flowers. A Gros de Naples pelisse, trimmed with ruches of the same material. The sleeves descend a little below the elbows; the under sleeves, which terminate over the wrists, are composed of muslin, terminating with lace ruffles.
