The skirt is formed of three double jupes of tulle, gathered up in festoons by chains of pearl...Dress of velvet, of a beautiful hue of brown, at present very fashionable in Paris...The skirt of the dress is perfectly plain, without trimming of any kind; but it is made exceedingly full, and is sufficiently long behind to form a short train...(Bridal Costume). Double skirt of white satin, richly trimmed with Brussels lace. The lace is disposed in a novel and highly effective style. It is set on in pyramidal groups, each formed of horizontal rows of lace gathers, in slight fulness.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to March, 1857, as we explore the fashion trends of the Victorian era through this image from the "Illustrated London News." The first ensemble showcases a stunning ball gown made of three layers of white tulle, each gathered up by chains of pearls. The dress is accompanied by a slip of white glace, adding an extra layer of elegance and sophistication. Next, we have a fashionable velvet dress in a rich, brown hue. The skirt of this dress is plain, but its fullness and length create an impressive train. This dress was a popular choice in Paris at the time. The third outfit in this print is a bridal costume, featuring a double skirt of white satin, beautifully trimmed with Brussels lace. The lace is arranged in pyramidal groups, creating a unique and eye-catching effect. The front of the lower skirt boasts two bows and long, flowing ribbons, while a ceinture of white satin ribbon is fastened in a bow at the waist. This wood engraving offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the 19th century, showcasing the elegance and intricacy of Victorian clothing. From full-length ball gowns to bridal costumes, these outfits were a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the time. Whether it was in Britain or France, fashion was an essential aspect of Victorian life, and this print from the "Illustrated London News" provides a fascinating insight into the trends of the era.
