1869 Ankle Bustle Overskirt Polonaise Representative Revealing Ribbons Viewed Visible
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image captures the elegance and grace of a woman dressed in a fashionable pink gown representative of the late Victorian era, around 1869-1870. The side view of the dress reveals the distinctive features of the time, including the full polonaise and overskirt, which were popular during this period. The polonaise, a structured bodice that flared out at the waist, was designed to accentuate the bustle and create an illusion of an hourglass figure. The overskirt, which was worn over the underlying petticoats, added volume and movement to the dress. The woman in the photograph holds a fan in her right hand, adding an air of sophistication and mystery. The pink color of the dress, a popular choice for formal occasions during this time, is accentuated by the delicate ribbons that adorn the bodice and the overskirt. The ankle-length hemline of the dress, which was becoming more common during the late Victorian era, is visible in this side view. The intricate details of the dress, from the lace trim on the bodice to the ruching on the overskirt, showcase the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating fashionable clothing during this period. The woman's modest yet revealing neckline, which was a common feature of Victorian fashion, adds to the overall allure of the image. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of fashion during the Victorian era, providing a window into the past and offering a glimpse into the lives of women during this time. The pink dress, with its polonaise and overskirt, remains a symbol of elegance and sophistication, a reminder of the rich history of fashion and the enduring allure of the past.
