1850s 1857 Advent Cage Crinoline Crinolines Flounces Mark Nosegay Pardessus Piece Posy Walks Written Schottische
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a woman from the 1850s gracefully strolling down the street, her crinoline skirt billowing around her in a flurry of flounces and petticoats. The year is 1857, a time when the cage crinoline, with its voluminous skirt supported by a boned structure, had recently come into fashion. The advent of this new fashion accessory marked a significant shift in women's clothing and was celebrated through music, such as the Crinoline Schottische. The woman in the photograph wears a crinoline pardessus, a lighter version of the full crinoline, which allowed for easier movement. She carries a posy of flowers in one hand and a nosegay in the other, adding a touch of elegance and femininity to her outfit. Her nosegay is likely made up of fragrant blooms like roses, lilies, and violets, popular choices for Victorian bouquets. The Crinoline Schottische was a lively dance that originated in Germany and quickly gained popularity in Europe and North America. The name "schottische" refers to its Scottish origins, as the dance was influenced by Scottish reels. This piece of music, written to commemorate the arrival of the crinoline, would have been played at social gatherings and balls, providing an upbeat soundtrack to the fashionable world of the late 1850s. As you gaze at this photograph, you can almost hear the lively strains of the Crinoline Schottische and imagine the woman in the image twirling and dancing in the streets, her crinoline skirt swirling around her in a breathtaking display of Victorian elegance and grace.
