In the last half of the 19th century, the women of America were
beginning to develop their own sense of style. Although influenced
by European fashions and the social and economic changes of the
time, they made clothing choices based upon their personal
aspirations and their practical everyday needs. Providing an
overview of fashion influences for each decade from the 1860s to
the end of the century, Everyday Fashion in Found Photographs
presents iconic garments, using sources from the period, to provide
commentary and detailed description of the styles of the time.
Previously unpublished vintage photographs show women across the
social spectrum wearing items such as the Garibaldi shirt, the
cuirass bodice, the Mother Hubbard, bicycle bloomers, and much
more. Names, dates and functions of garments are examined in
detail, and ties are established between social and historical
contexts and the evolution of clothing styles. This illustrated
book is for readers who want to identify and understand specific
clothing items as well as gain insight into the mind-set of
fashionable women from Victorian-era America. Dress history
scholars, costume designers, curators of costume collections,
social and cultural historians and those who appreciate vintage
photographs can learn about elements of late 19th century women's
dress and thereby develop an understanding of what was fashionable,
and why.
