EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the elegance of the late Victorian era with this stunning skating costume from 1899, as captured in a photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library. The costume, which features a short brown fur-trimmed coat with a rounded basque, cord trim, and tight sleeves with gathered puff, exudes an air of sophistication and style. The ankle-length gored skirt, adorned with intricate detailing, gracefully flows as the wearer glides across the ice. The coat, a key element of this ensemble, is a testament to the opulence of the time. The rounded basque, a popular silhouette during the Edwardian period, accentuates the waist and creates an hourglass figure. The short length of the coat allowed for greater freedom of movement while skating, making it a practical yet fashionable choice. The coat's collar, trimmed with mink or marten fur, adds a touch of luxury and warmth. The sleeves, with their tight fit and gathered puff, are a nod to the trend towards fitted clothing that emerged during this time. The cord trim, a common detail in Victorian and Edwardian clothing, adds texture and visual interest to the costume. The skating skirt, with its gored design, allows for ease of movement while skating and adds volume and fullness to the outfit. The overall effect is a stunning combination of form and function, a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the fashion designers of the late 19th century. This photograph, a rare glimpse into the past, offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian and Edwardian promenade skating, a popular pastime for the wealthy and fashionable. With its intricate details and timeless beauty, this skating costume remains a captivating reminder of a bygone era.
