EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image from June 1870 showcases the elegant summer fashions for women's outdoor wear during the Victorian era. The fashionable woman, dressed in the height of style, dons a jacket body with voluminous pagoda sleeves that add a dramatic flair to her ensemble. The bodice of her jacket is fitted at the waist, creating an early bustle effect, while the skirt flows gracefully around her. The summer season called for lightweight fabrics, and this woman's outfit is no exception. The jacket is made of a delicate, breathable material, perfect for the warmer months. Her coordinating dress, also in a light fabric, features a high neckline and long sleeves, ensuring modesty and coverage. Accessories play a crucial role in completing the look. She carries a parasol, a must-have item for protecting her complexion from the sun's harsh rays. The parasol, adorned with intricate lace and ribbon details, complements her outfit beautifully. Her hat, also adorned with lace and ribbons, adds a touch of femininity to her ensemble. The fashion trends of Paris were highly influential during this time, and this woman's outfit reflects the latest styles. The pagoda sleeves, which were inspired by Japanese fashion, were a popular trend in 1870. The combination of the fitted bodice, full skirt, and dramatic pagoda sleeves created a balance between elegance and extravagance, making this a truly captivating fashion statement for the summer of 1870.
