Victorian Costumes Ideas Introduction




Turning to be a Victorian woman is a dream of most of the female now because this fashion represents elegance and stylish. I will share some personal ideas about this fashion clothing style and you can have a read if you are interested in this clothing fashion.


About the dressing costumes for ladies and gentlemen: Victorian ladies wore dresses with long skirts and high necklines. A simple thrift shop dress or any old-fashioned clothing can be accented to create a Victorian costume. Add ribbons, lace, a petticoat, a brooch or a shawl to complete the look. Top all of this off with a bonnet or a small cap decorated with flowers. Victorian gentlemen wore vests, tapered pants and hats such as tweed skimmers. Turn the collar up on a plain white button shirt and knot a scarf or cravat around your neck for a Victorian look. Create a frock coat by trimming the collar of a regular dark overcoat with velvet or brocade and moving the first button down to the mid-chest region.






About the working class dressing costumes: Working-class Victorian women wore simple dresses with fewer embellishments. Do not wear a petticoat if you are dressing as a working-class woman. Wear an apron with a bib over your dress and tie a shawl around your shoulders. Working-class Victorian men also dressed simply. Wear baggy wool or corduroy trousers. Put on a plain, collarless shirt and roll up the sleeves. Complete the look by wearing a hat with a broad brim and a low crown.





About the seaside dressing: Visitors at the beach during the Victorian era were only slightly less dressed than they were normally. Ladies wore crinoline cage frames under their skirts, which were slightly shorter than their everyday skirts. They also wore tight corsets and bustles. They also wore round hats decorated with long ribbons. You can wear a loose skirt with a tighter top as a lady bather. Complete the look with a straw hat with ribbons and a parasol. Victorian men would try to look nautical or slightly exotic when they went to the beach. They would dress in striped blazers, straw boater hats, brightly colored cummerbunds and white flannel bottoms. Find these clothing articles to put together a Victorian seaside outfit.
