EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a young girl elegantly dressed in the fashion of 1868, donning a pannier skirt, or pardessus, with a Watteau pleat and pleated or gathered flounces. The pannier skirt, a popular design during the Victorian era, features a full, bell-shaped silhouette created by the use of horizontal hoops or panniers. The skirt is worn over a blue dress with horizontal stripes, adding an element of playfulness to the ensemble. The girl's outfit is further accentuated by a sleeveless bolero, or casaque, which is worn as an outer layer. The bolero, a demi-jacket with a short train, adds an extra layer of warmth and sophistication to the outfit. The skirt and bolero are adorned with patches, adding a touch of character and individuality to the costume. The pannier skirt also features a pelerine, a cape-like collar, which adds an air of elegance and completes the Victorian look. The skirt also includes pockets, a practical feature that was essential for women during this time. The Watteau pleat, named after the French painter Jean-Antoine Watteau, is a distinctive fold that adds a graceful curve to the skirt, creating a flowing, feminine appearance. This fashion trend was popular during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, but was revived in the late 19th century and continued to be a favorite among women of the time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of fashion during the Victorian era and the intricacies of women's clothing during this time period. The use of pannier skirts, Watteau pleats, and other fashionable elements showcases the elegance and sophistication of the time, while the inclusion of practical features such as pockets highlights the functionality and practicality of women's clothing during this era.
