EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the 1640s, a decade marked by intricate and elegant European costumes. The photograph features a diverse array of women, not all of them ladies of fashion, showcasing the unique and regional differences in attire during this era. At the forefront of the scene is a woman wearing a decollete bodice, a fashion trend that emerged during this period. The bodice is adorned with delicate lace, adding an air of sophistication and allure. The falling collar and cuffs of her gown are also embellished with intricate lace designs, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the fashion of the time. Another woman in the photograph wears a gown hitched up to reveal her petticoat, a practical adaptation to the cold European winters. The petticoat, often made of wool, provided an extra layer of warmth, while the gown itself was typically made of heavier fabric such as velvet or silk. The women in this photograph also don muffs, a popular accessory during the 1640s. Muffs were used to keep hands warm and were often made of fur or other luxurious materials. Despite the similarities in some elements of their attire, the regional differences in European fashion during the 1640s are evident in this photograph. The English woman, for instance, wears a more modest gown compared to her counterparts, reflecting the cultural norms of the time. Overall, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and varied world of European costumes during the 1640s.
