EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Victorian era with this enchanting photograph from February 1868, showcasing a delightful collection of women's costumes. The first dress on the left is a stunning brown number, featuring a full skirt that is artfully pulled behind by an attached sash. The dress's neckline is a modest yet elegant decollete, adding a touch of sophistication to the outfit. The brown dress is further adorned with delicate fringing along the shoulder and hemline, adding a playful and feminine touch. In contrast, the two white dresses in the foreground are equally captivating. The dress on the right boasts an apron front and a flowing train, perfect for grand entrances at formal events. The dress on the left is equally elegant, with a simple yet elegant neckline and delicate flower trim around the hemline. The children in the photograph, dressed in their Sunday best, add a charming element to the scene. The van Dyke collars on their shirts and the neatly pressed trousers are reminiscent of the fashionable attire of the time. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the intricate and detailed costumes of the Victorian era, with their emphasis on modesty, elegance, and femininity. The fullness of the skirts, the delicate trims, and the playful use of color all contribute to the timeless beauty of these costumes. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in fashion history or the Victorian era. It is a rare and precious glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating these stunning costumes.
