Mid-Late Victorian Fashion and Costume History (1860 - 1901)

The Victorian Era is so important to modern day fashions. Firstly the sewing machine had been invented, and secondly clothes would in future become couture design led. The dresses were Flamboyant and full, and lets not forget lengthy. Above is two Victorian dresses, one being worn with a conservative collar. Swooped and the collar bones are barely see able. While, the later version of the Victorian dress is cut-V shaped, showing little breast yet full collar bones. As time went on, the dress got slimmer, layered, and it developed a train:

The length remained the same for an amazing amount of time.

Above - Slim fitting trained dress with cuirasse bodice 1876. By 1878 the cuirasse bodice reached the thighs. 1878 - the cuirasse bodices had reached the thighs. The cuirasse bodice was corset like and dipped even deeper both front and back extending well down the hips creating the look of a body encased in Armour.


- The new Hard Bustle of 1883 -


Suddenly out of nowhere in 1883 a new jutting out shelf like style of bustle appeared. It had been shown in Paris in 1880, but as a fashion took off later outside of Paris. It reappeared even larger than ever as a hard shape that gave women a silhouette like the hind legs of a horse. The new bustle dress had a different look. It had minimál drapery compared to the former and a slimmer more fitted severely tailored princess bodice, with a much flatter front. What drapery there was, was tidily arranged at the front of the dress as a small apron. Soon even that disappeared. For support the spring pivoted metal band Langtry bustle gave the correct foundation for the wider skirts.

It's interesting to note how late Victorian women embraced the sharper tailored jacket fashion which gave them a different posture with a more confident air reflecting the ideals of early female emancipation. Other military and more tailor made styles of jacket were also popular. Some dresses also had a more severe air about them.

Overall, Victorian Fashions has great Silhouettes involving femininity and couture.

I often thought as a child that grey was the last colour I would ever consider wearing. Although I have always been a "mini coco chanel" grey has never been my 'thang'. That is, until now.




Grey -- a colour so boring that it is fun.

This is nothing to be taken seriously. Then again - maybe it should be. Take it as it comes to you.


So - I have this friend. She is very artistic and unusual. She is my inspiration. I use her in everything
I do, actually. I am sure you have a friend this close to you, no? This girl is someone you can confide
in - share with - swing upside down with and tell your best kept secrets. And sometimes, her heartbeat
even matches your own. Grab her hand and hold it close - never let it go and match the thump. You're
sweating now. Moving slow. No time to think. My turn to go. And you can see her heart - beating. Whoa.
You can see it through her chest. She is terrified but not leaving. She knows that she must past this test.
Then again - everything goes back to normal and she is fine. Once you stare into her eyes, because you
think you know her - you realize that you've been within her once before - yet you've never really gone.
Just think sometimes. Everyone is not your best friend. They are sometimes your pain.

You're just as different, as you are the same - and sometimes, it is ay-okay to just blend like red with white.
Here - I made you a pale pink rose pedal out of that little quote. You're turning me towards The Horrors ft.
Sasha Pivovarova. An english Indi-Rock band paired with a Russian Prada expert, oh yes, and a Supermodel.
I love Indie and Rock, don't you? Listen to the music of the moment and come dance with me.

What is my attraction to these people? I admit, they are darn clever and tasteful at least. Why can't I put
down my VOGUE 2010 JAN issue?

I've always wanted to paint my nose with black paint and compliment is with dark little freckles around and about my invisible mustache. I supposed I will, Now.

Kind mortals, if you have the tendency to get offended awfully easily - must you read this blog?
The authors are a group of kind-hearted young women with mature nature- therefore, they tend to
take things less seriously then most. Haven't they been in the adult world, long, long enough to
think this way? There are four writers: Alejandra Cordero, 20, Ida Barbaron, 16, Fran'Cheska Maryoga, 17,
and Fohe Penn, 17 -- and, have the spoiled senses of humor that you'd find entertaining other elders at a
tea party. Care to engage and eventually leave with an ill-feeling for us? You simply must! Geddit, love?
