EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1888, showcases a fashionable Victorian woman donning an elegant brown wool costume adorned with an intricately embroidered paisley border. The costume consists of a voluminous under-skirt, a wrap-over tunic, and a bodice that buttons on one side. The tunic features 3/4 length sleeves that are slightly puffed, adding to the overall grace and elegance of the ensemble. The woman in the photograph holds a parasol, shielding herself from the sun or rain with its protective canopy. Her outfit, with its rich hue and ornate embellishments, is a testament to the opulence and refinement of the late Victorian era. The paisley pattern, a popular design motif during this time, adds a touch of exoticism and allure to the costume. The length of the skirt, which reaches the ground, is a hallmark of Victorian modesty and propriety. The woman's posture and expression suggest a sense of poise and confidence, as she goes about her day with an air of sophistication. The use of an umbrella or parasol was a common accessory for women during this period, as it not only protected them from the elements but also served as a fashion statement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a vivid image of the fashion trends and social norms of the late 19th century. The intricate details of the costume, from the embroidered paisley border to the buttons on the side, are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful representation of Victorian fashion and the elegance and grace of the women of the era.
