EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Victorian era with this enchanting image of Polonaise dresses from 1868, as captured in this beautiful photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library. Polonaise dresses were a popular fashion trend during this period, characterized by their double skirts, chemisettes, and low-cut bodices. The over-skirts of these dresses were often caught up with bows or other decorative elements, such as fringes or lappets. The dress on the left is a classic example of a sack-back Polonaise dress. The sack back allowed for a loose, comfortable fit, while the low-cut bodice and chemisette added an elegant touch. The over-skirt of this dress opens at the front, revealing the under-skirt and the intricate detailing of the chemisette and bodice. The dress on the right is a casaque or watteau Polonaise dress, named for its distinctive draped back. The over-skirt of this dress also opens at the front, revealing the under-skirt and the low-cut bodice. The pelerine, a type of cape or shawl collar, adds an extra layer of warmth and style. These Polonaise dresses were not only worn by women but also by children during this era. The Victorian era was a time of opulence and elegance, and these dresses were a reflection of the extravagance and beauty of the era. The intricate detailing, from the bows to the fringes, showcases the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion and style of the Victorian era. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of clothing and the role it plays in shaping our identity and expressing our individuality.
