EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the fashionable world of December 1858, as depicted in this image from the Illustrated London News. The first ensemble showcases a green droguet dress, adorned with black velvet spots and featuring two distinct skirts, each with side trimmings of black velvet. The fitted corsage, with its pointed waist, is paired with wide, slit sleeves and under sleeves of muslin puffs. The second outfit is a ball costume, consisting of a white tarletane robe with two flounces. Over this, a tunic is worn, gathered in festoons and secured with pink ribbon bows. The corsage is draped, with a pink ribbon bow accentuating the bosom. The hair is styled in rolled bandeaux and held in place with a green sarcenet ribbon bow and a single rose. Lastly, the evening dress boasts a robe of China-blue silk, with a low-cut, square corsage and a black lace fichu or pelerine. The headpiece is made of a plaited China-blue velvet, complete with bows and long flowing ends. These exquisite fashion designs offer a glimpse into the elegant and intricate styles of the past, as captured in the pages of the Illustrated London News.
