The Victorian era 1837-1901

Queen Victoria and the mourning period.

The Victorian era revolutionised the way we view women’s fashion today. Before the reign of Queen Victoria, the focus of fashion surrounded men but that later changed as a wife’s appearance and garments came to represent the husbands status and wealth which also later inspired the Aesthetic period which allowed women to dress more freely.

Women began to dress not only for men but to impress and show off to other women of their social standing.

Queen Victoria also introduces many “mourning periods” following the death of her husband Prince Albert, which influenced the country to follow in her ways creating many traditions such as wearing black to a funeral.

The Victorian era also introduced many aspects to garments such as the crinoline, bustle and corset which reoccur in current modern fashion trends.

I find that the Victorian era increasingly significant in the history of fashion as it is the catalyst for change in the freedom and expression of women.

Image 3: 1860s red paisley quilted petticoat

Image 4: 1860s red cage crinoline

A reminder that the past was not black and white and was, in fact, full of sometimes eye-hurtingly bright colors.
