EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegance and intricacy of women's fashion in the late 19th century, specifically the year 1899. The image features a woman wearing a beautiful wrap-over bodice with horizontal striped sleeves, adding a playful and unique touch to the classic Victorian style. The deep, scallop-shaped collar frames the face and neck, drawing attention to the intricate door knocker hairstyle, which was a popular fashion trend during the Edwardian era. The bodice of the costume is adorned with bunches of grapes, meticulously embroidered by hand. This exquisite detail adds a touch of natural beauty and whimsy to the outfit, making it a true standout piece. The stripes on the sleeves are not only visually appealing but also functional, as they helped to hide the wrists when the sleeves were wrapped around the body. The woman's hair is dressed in the fashionable door knocker style, which involves gathering the hair at the nape of the neck and securing it with a handle or coil. This hairstyle was named for its resemblance to the handle of a door knocker, and it was a popular choice for formal occasions and special events. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the intricate and detailed fashion of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The combination of the striped sleeves, deep scallop collar, and bunches of grapes embroidery make this a truly unique and beautiful costume, showcasing the creativity and craftsmanship of the time.
