EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of Victorian fashion in 1880, showcasing a beautifully detailed coat bodice with basques that extend well over the hips. The double-breasted design is cut-away at the front and trimmed with delicate cord accents, adding a touch of elegance to the ensemble. The straight skirt features vertical stripes that elongate the silhouette, while a dramatic train and diagonal drapery create a sense of movement and drama.
The historical significance of this outfit is evident in its meticulous construction and attention to detail. From the ruffles on the bodice to the hobble skirt that restricts movement, every element speaks to the fashion trends of the time. Women would have felt both stylish and sophisticated wearing such an ensemble, which exudes class and refinement.
The fabrics used in this garment are rich and luxurious, further emphasizing its high-end appeal. The combination of textures and patterns adds visual interest, making it a true work of art in fashion history. This print serves as a reminder of how clothing has evolved over time, yet certain elements remain timeless in their beauty and craftsmanship.
