Paris Fashions for the New Year, 1860 - A Sneak Peek into Victorian Elegance
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the world of Victorian fashion with this enchanting photograph from "Illustrated London News" of Parisian styles for the New Year, 1860. The image, captured by an unknown artist, showcases three captivating outfits that epitomize the elegance and sophistication of the era. First, we have the Morning Toilet, featuring a double-skirted taffeta dress. The under skirt is plain, while the upper one boasts rounded corners and a fluted edging that graduates upwards to the waist. The corsage consists of a Zouave casaque, a small Parisian collar, and a silk cravat adorned with lace. Next, we present the Evening Costume, an exquisite moire antique robe. The skirt is adorned with a wide band of velvet, trimmed with a narrow lace that forms a graceful flounce. The high-necked corsage, à la Suisse, is covered halfway with passementerie and guipure. The pagoda sleeves are trimmed with lace and velvet, and the Parisian collar completes the look. A twisted head-dress adds the perfect finishing touch. Lastly, we have the Dress for Opera or Ball, an elegant number in light pink silk. The dress boasts three high flounces, while the cloak is made of white cashmere and edged with black velvet. A yellow silk tassel descends from each shoulder ornament, adding a touch of whimsy. A carved mother-of-pearl fan completes the ensemble, and the head-dress is a round garland of roses. These stunning outfits offer a glimpse into the opulence and refinement of Parisian fashion during the Victorian era. Enjoy this journey through time and let the elegance of these ensembles inspire your sense of style.
