EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning grey costume, dating back to 1899, showcases the elegance and intricacy of women's fashion during the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras. The jacket bodice, with its scallop-edged basques and high collar, is rolled down to reveal a red lining and fur edge, adding a touch of warmth and allure. The gored skirt, featuring fullness at the back, is highly ornamented with passementerie, a popular decorative technique of the time. The wearer of this costume would have promenaded in style and sophistication, turning heads with every step. The Victorian hat, adorned with a delicate ribbon and feather, and the Edwardian fox head muff complete the look, adding an air of luxury and refinement. This grey costume, with its timeless beauty and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a era of elegance and opulence. The high collar, rolled down to reveal a pop of red, is a testament to the fashionable yet practical design choices of the time. The use of fur and passementerie adds an element of luxury and extravagance, reflecting the wealth and status of the wearer. The intricate details of this costume, from the scallop edging to the gored skirt and highly ornamented passementerie, are a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. This image is a valuable historical record of the fashion trends and cultural influences of the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of women during this period of history.
