EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the late 19th century and the charming seaside resort of Brighton. The young woman in the photograph, dressed in a fashionable outfit typical of the C. 1895 era, embodies the elegance and playfulness of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. She wears a high-necked blouse with voluminous mutton sleeves, a striking contrast to the modern, sleeveless styles of today. The blouse is further adorned with a wing-collar and a bow-tie, adding an air of sophistication and formality to her attire. Her skirt, decorated with seven contrasting bands, accentuates her slender waist and flares out gracefully, revealing the fashionable hourglass silhouette of the time. The young woman completes her outfit with a straw boater-style hat, a popular choice for seaside outings. She carries a parasol, both for protection from the sun and as a fashion accessory, adding to the overall charm of the photograph. The Pierrot-inspired costume, with its playful and whimsical design, reflects the influence of European art and culture on British fashion during this period. The intricate details of her outfit, from the contrasting bands on her skirt to the delicate bow-tie, demonstrate the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating fashionable clothing during this era. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of fashion and the social customs of the late 19th century. The young woman's confident and stylish appearance captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the stories and memories that lie behind this image.
