EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the seaside promenade of 1896, an era marked by the gradual decline of extravagant, voluminous sleeves. In this photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online, a group of women and children don vibrant and intricately designed costumes, embodying the elegance and sophistication of the late Victorian era. The year 1896 signaled a turning point in fashion history, as puffed and gigot sleeves, wide square revers, epaulettes, high collars, and pleated blouses began to give way to more streamlined silhouettes. The women in this photograph showcase these transitional styles, with some wearing the last vestiges of the old fashion, while others embrace the new. The children, dressed in matching outfits, mirror the adult fashions, their costumes featuring open bodices fastened with bands and trimmed with lace and ribbons. The skirts of the women's dresses are full and voluminous, billowing in the breeze as they stroll along the shoreline. The women's costumes are adorned with double collars, adding an extra layer of refinement and formality to their ensembles. Some dresses feature open bodices, revealing a hint of décolletage, while others are covered with high, closed necklines. The epaulettes, reminiscent of military uniforms, add a touch of grandeur and importance to the outfits. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of late Victorian fashion, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the subtle shifts in style that marked the end of an epoch. The women and children, with their joyful expressions and elegant attire, invite us to imagine a day at the seaside over a century ago.
