Description
The sweeping styles of Victorian Britain are a testament to the era's love of luxury and decoration. From the vibrant, fancy materials and lace edging of high fashion to the tightlaced sobriety of mourning apparel, this book explores the full range of clothing worn during the 19th century. The introduction examines both the high fashion imports from Paris and the more modest everyday wear, including evening costume, bridal styles, children's clothes, and sportswear. The social and cultural backdrop to clothing in Britain's great age of industry and empire is also explored, providing a rich context for understanding the evolution of Victorian fashion. This book is a colorful and informative guide to the clothing of the Victorian era, covering a wide range of styles and social contexts.
