EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1880s and immerse yourself in the elegant world of Victorian fashion as depicted in this photograph. The image features two stylish women, one wearing a striking black mantle and the other in a beautiful blue dress, both embodying the fashion trends of the era. The black mantle, a must-have accessory for women during this period, is adorned with intricate lace, jet beads, and passementerie, adding an air of sophistication and mystery. The mantle's high collar and ruff, reminiscent of the Medici collars popular during the Renaissance, add an historical influence to the design. The blue dress, with its full panniers and voluminous vandyked skirt, is a testament to the extravagance and opulence of Victorian fashion. The under-skirt, featuring flounces at the hem, adds an additional layer of fullness and movement to the dress. The jacket body, with its frilled basques and shoulder puffs, completes the ensemble, adding a touch of femininity and grace. The women in this photograph exude confidence and style, reflecting the changing role of women in society during the late 19th century. The fashion trends of the early 1880s, with their emphasis on intricate details and opulence, continue to inspire modern fashion designers and enthusiasts alike, making this image a must-see for anyone interested in the history of fashion.
