EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the year 1876, an era of significant change and innovation in the world of fashion. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the evolution of women's attire during this period, with a focus on the striking transformation in silhouette. Gone are the voluminous bustles that dominated the previous decade. Instead, the new fashion trend sees the bustle slipping, allowing for a more elongated bodice. The skirt, meanwhile, is tightly swathed at the front, creating an hourglass figure, while boasting a long train that sweeps the ground. The Victorian era's penchant for extravagance is evident in the double-colored dresses that have become fashionable. The mermaid-like silhouette, with its fish tail skirt and bows adorning the front, adds an allure and elegance that was sought after during this time. The bodice, elongated and tightly laced, accentuates the waistline, while the back of the dress remains simple and unadorned. The long train, often made of heavy fabric, adds a sense of grandeur and sophistication to the overall look. This photograph is a testament to the ever-changing nature of fashion and the creativity that has defined it throughout history. The intricate details, from the flounces at the hem to the delicate bows, showcase the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating these stunning garments. As we admire the beauty of this historical fashion moment, we are reminded of the enduring allure of fashion and its ability to reflect the cultural and societal shifts of each era. This photograph is not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the lives of women during the late Victorian era.
