EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a fashionable Victorian woman from the year 1864, donning a walking dress that was the epitome of style and innovation during that era. The vogue for short, hitched-up skirts revealing brightly colored petticoats and boots was originally an English fashion, later adopted by the French, and this photograph is a testament to its enduring appeal. The woman's dress, known as a "porte jupe" or "petticoat skirt," features a fitted bodice, military-inspired braid, and a pillbox hat adorned with a ribbon and feather. The skirt, hitched up to reveal the petticoat beneath, is a striking contrast of colors, with the bright red petticoat peeking out from under the darker, more muted dress. The woman completes her ensemble with a parasol, adding a touch of elegance and practicality to her outfit. The adoption of this fashion was a significant departure from the long, flowing skirts that were popular during the previous decades. The shortened skirts allowed for greater freedom of movement, making them ideal for women who enjoyed taking long walks or engaging in outdoor activities. The popularity of this trend was further fueled by the influence of the military, with the braid and other military-inspired details reflecting the prevailing masculine influence on women's fashion during this period. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of women's fashion during the Victorian era, showcasing the bold and innovative styles that defined this period of dress and self-expression.
