Step into the captivating world of Parisian fashion in August 1886, as depicted in this stunning hand-coloured page from Mary Evans Picture Library. The image showcases an exquisite selection of women's costumes that were all the rage during this era, each one more enchanting than the last. The fashionable ladies of Paris were known for their elegant and intricately designed dresses, and this page is a testament to their impeccable taste. The first dress on the left features a high-necked, full-skirted gown with a voluminous bustle, a hallmark of the Victorian era. The dress is accessorized with a delicate fan, adding a touch of sophistication and elegance. Moving on to the next dress, we see a black frock with a high neckline and a full skirt, perfect for a formal evening event. The dress is adorned with intricate lace detailing and a bow at the back, adding a playful touch to the otherwise serious design. The third dress on the right showcases a more casual look, with a simpler design and shorter hemline. The dress is paired with a pair of white gloves, adding a touch of refinement to the outfit. The model holds a fan in her hand, a popular accessory during this time, adding a feminine touch to the overall look. The final dress on the right is a more daring design, featuring a low neckline and a fitted bodice, a departure from the more modest designs of the time. The dress is accessorized with a large bow at the waist, adding a playful and flirtatious touch to the outfit. This hand-coloured page from Mary Evans Picture Library offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of Paris in 1886, showcasing the intricate designs and attention to detail that defined the era. Whether you're a fashion historian, a costume designer, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of bygone eras, this image is sure to captivate and inspire.
