"And by the way, Monsieur Marius, I believe that I was a little bit in love with you." (Les Misérables – Victor Hugo, 1862)

next up, the 1860s!! there was a lot going on during this decade, so i once again tried to keep a mix of upper and lower class fashions, as well as throwing in a few more "pioneer" esque dresses. after all, there's only so many petticoats you can wear when your oxen die and you have to walk!

hoop skirts would reach their peak in the middle of this decade, and from there the shape would become elliptical, with most of the "hoop" moving to the back. this would eventually become the "bustle". corsets were still worn, but with the layering and vastness of skirts, the size of the waist would already look smaller in comparison. hairstyles were lower, buns being held at the nape of the neck more often than not. heeled boots were back in style, as you might catch a glimpse of them as fabric moved due to the cage crinoline. near the end of the decade, it became more common to see skirts paired with shirtwaists or blouses instead of matching bodices.

1800-1809 / 1810-1819 / 1820-1829 / 1830-1839 / 1840-1849 / 1850-1859
