The sweeping crinolines, corsets, bustles, bonnets and parasols of
Victorian Britain are indispensable to our period dramas, and their
influences can still be seen within burlesque and steampunk
fashions. This is no surprise, as nineteenth-century clothing was
so wide-ranging and decorative. We might unfairly think gentlemen's
costume to be rather plain and uniform, but this is more by
contrast to the overwhelming ostentation, luxury fabrics, fine
accessories and constantly evolving silhouettes of ladies' fashion.
This colourful introduction to what the Victorians wore describes
the vibrant, fancy materials and lace edging at one end of the
spectrum, and the tightlaced sobriety of mourning apparel at the
other. It examines both high fashion imports from Paris and more
modest everyday wear, evening costume, bridal styles, children's
clothes and sportswear, and explores the social and cultural
backdrop to clothing in Britain's great age of industry and empire.
