Main Features of Victorian Clothing




Are you interested in Victorian clothing? I think the answer of most of the women will be yes because the Victorian clothing is known as its elegant, stylish and very covered(no skin showed). I will simply introduce some information about the features of this clothing fashion and you can have a reference if you are interested in this alternative clothing fashion topic.





Firstly, you will find there are lots of layers, extremely full skirts, lots of ruffles and decorative features in this clothing style. This will make you look charming and elegant but it is uncomfortable for you to wear. For example, if a woman will go to a evening party, she will wear bonnets, shawls, side button shoes, and as many as a dozen starched and flounced muslin petticoats to support the full skirts of her evening gown.





Second, the Victorian clothing fashion also give people a mysterious combination of the uncomfortable and inconvenient with the frivolous and decorative impression. There are numerious heavy petticoats, layers of underclothes, metal hoops, tight corsets under bodices of whalebone and steel were hidden by an array of ornately accented undersleeves, collars, pelerines, fans, gloves, hats, and parasols. It was fancy, frilly, lacey, and truly outlandish but it can help a lady become more lady than any other clothing style.
