EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the world of fashionable education in the heart of Victorian London, as depicted in this advertisement for the Countess of Warwick's Easton School of Needlework, located on New Bond Street in 1896. The image showcases two elegant women, dressed in the latest fashion trends, engaging in the art of needlework. The Countess of Warwick's Easton School of Needlework was renowned for its high-quality instruction in various needlework techniques, including embroidery, lace-making, and sewing. The school attracted students from all walks of life, who sought to enhance their skills and keep up with the latest fashion trends. The two women in the advertisement are dressed in stylish blouses that were popular during the 1890s. Their blouses feature large, puffed sleeves with a distinctive gigot design, which accentuated the shoulders and added volume to the upper body. The high collars, a staple of Victorian fashion, completed the look. The mutton sleeves, as they were also called, were a nod to the hourglass figure that was considered desirable during this era. The puffed sleeves and high collars were not only fashionable but also practical, as they allowed for ease of movement while working on intricate needlework projects. The Countess of Warwick's Easton School of Needlework provided students with the opportunity to learn these skills in a supportive and inspiring environment, surrounded by like-minded individuals.
