EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this stunning photograph of a Victorian-era woman, expertly dressed in a tailor-made costume that embodies the elegance and sophistication of the late 1890s. The outfit, featuring a jacket with gored basques and gigot sleeves, or "leg-of-mutton" sleeves, and a gored skirt, was a popular choice for women during this period. The high stand-fall collar and tie add an air of refinement, while the gauntlets and hat adorned with birds and bows complete the look. The woman in the photograph is shown gracefully mounting a bicycle, a symbol of freedom and independence for women during this time. The cycling costume, with its fitted bodice and full skirt, allowed women to move freely and comfortably while riding. The outfit was also designed to be both practical and fashionable, with the gored skirt providing ease of movement and the fitted jacket accentuating the figure. The costume was made using the "stuffed" or "stuffed-gored" method, which involved sewing multiple gores, or triangular panels, into the skirt to create fullness and shape. This method allowed for a more natural and flattering silhouette, as opposed to the more rigid and restrictive crinolines that were popular earlier in the century. This photograph, taken circa 1895, is a testament to the rich history of fashion during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The intricate details of the costume, from the gored basques and gigot sleeves to the high stand-fall collar and gauntlets, showcase the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these beautiful garments. Whether you're a history buff, a fashion enthusiast, or simply appreciate the beauty of bygone eras, this photograph is sure to captivate and inspire.
