EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Fashions for November - Robe of White Crape over a slip of White Satin," dates back to 1858 and is an exquisite representation of Victorian-era women's fashion. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but it was originally published in the esteemed "Illustrated London News." The model wears a stunning white robe, featuring a double skirt adorned with ruches of blonde fabric. The upper skirt is gathered up at each side with a chatelaine of the same flowers, while the lower skirt boasts four rows of ruches on the front and three on the back. The corsage is simple and pointed in front and at the back, providing a subtle yet elegant contrast to the voluminous skirt. Over the robe, the model wears a fichu Antoinette, a shawl-like accessory, covered with ruches of blonde fabric. A wreath made of honeysuckle and pink azalea runs through the midst of the fichu, adding a touch of natural beauty to the ensemble. The odalisque sleeves are gathered up in front of the arms with bouquets of honeysuckle and azalea. The model's hair is adorned with a narrow cordon of the same flowers, and full bouquets are disposed at the back of her head. Bracelets set with diamonds and pink topaz add a touch of luxury to the outfit. This full-length, engraved print showcases the intricate details of the Victorian-era fashion, from the crinoline hoop skirt to the delicate artificial flowers. The combination of white crepe and white satin, along with the natural beauty of the honeysuckle and azalea, creates a timeless and elegant look that continues to inspire fashion enthusiasts to this day.
