EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of the late Victorian era with this fancy dress costume depicting a witch, as captured in this photograph from circa 1880. The image, titled "Fancy Dress Costume, The Witch," showcases a woman donning an intricately designed and authentic attire that transports us back in time. The witch's costume is a true testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the period. The pointed hat, a quintessential element of a witch's ensemble, is adorned with a velvety black fabric, complete with a tall, conical shape and a red ribbon tied in a bow at the base. The hat is further embellished with a silver star and a black feather, adding an alluring touch to the overall look. The woman wears a quilted, full-length skirt in a deep, rich hue of purple, which is both elegant and mysterious. The skirt is layered with multiple tiers, giving it a voluminous appearance that flows gracefully around her. Pairing the skirt is a ruff, a high, frilly collar that was popular during the Victorian era, adding a refined touch to the costume. A broomstick, an essential accessory for any witch, is held in her hand, enhancing the illusion of her magical powers. The broomstick is made of a wooden handle, with a woven straw brush at the top, adding a rustic charm to the ensemble. This photograph is a beautiful representation of the whimsical and imaginative nature of fancy dress costumes during the late Victorian era. It invites us to explore the enchanting world of the past and appreciate the intricate details and creativity that went into crafting such captivating attire.
