EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the elegant world of Parisian fashion in June 1886, as captured in this stunning hand-coloured page from Mary Evans Picture Library. The illustration showcases an exquisite selection of fashionable attire for women, setting the standard for the season's most coveted trends. Beginning with dinner dresses, the illustration features elegant designs adorned with draped swags and intricate flower arrangements, creating an air of sophistication and refinement. The bustle silhouette, a defining characteristic of the Victorian era, is prominently displayed, adding volume and grace to each ensemble. Next, we find ball gowns with long gloves and elegant fans, perfect for an evening at the opera or a grand soiree. The long gloves not only added a touch of glamour but also protected the delicate skin from the cold and drafts. Fans, an essential accessory for any well-dressed woman, were used not only for cooling down but also as a sign of flirtation and social status. Lastly, the illustration presents traditional garden party frocks, featuring light and airy skirts, parasols, and corsages filled with vibrant blooms. These frocks were designed for a leisurely afternoon spent in the sun, surrounded by nature and the company of friends. This page from June 1886 offers a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of Parisian fashion during the 1880s, providing inspiration for modern-day fashion enthusiasts and a window into the past.
