The Arts in Victorian Britain Fashion The Arts in Victorian Britain Fashion Taya Elezi 8th December 2018 Abstract The Victorian era introduced many different changes in terms of fashion. It was probably due to its long time period that it spans as Queen Victoria spent more years on the throne than any other monarch in the history of United Kingdom. With that said, there were many significant changes made in comparison from the beginning of the era to the end. Contents Contents i 1 Victorian Era Fashion 1 1.1 Women’s Fashion .......................... 1 1.2 Men’s Fashion ............................ 2 2 Reference 4 i 1 Victorian Era Fashion In the early Victorian era, nearly all clothing was created by hand. People had to visit a seamstress or tailor to get fitted and they would create the clothing by hand. However, in the late Victorian era, and particularly by 1907, nearly all clothing was created with the use of machines. Many seamstresses had gone out of business or specialized what type of clothing they offered. The benefits, however, to the machines producing many types of clothing is that for the first time people were fitted and sized and given a specific size that was usually produced in a factory. These factories produced inexpensive elegant clothing. Things such as lace were being mass produced, instead ofall being done by hand which made the clothing less expensive. Therefore, even inexpensive dresses often had some sort of lace trim. Throughout wewill delve deeper into subtypes of fashion, and these are: • Women’s Fashion • Men’s Fashion 1.1 Women’s Fashion A significant factor in case of the Victorian clothing was etiquette. Thedresses worn by women covered their entire body. It was prohibited for a woman to even show her ankles and the corsets worn restricted the movements of a woman. Victorian Era Gowns During the Victorian era, Queen Victoria was the idol for women in terms of fashion. Women looked up to her for dressing style and fashion In the early years of the Victorian era, a tight fitting pointed bodice was much longer and had a small tight fitting waist. Later on, by 1845, the boned bodice was a bit more stretched out into a V shape and the shoulder sleeve line drooped more, restricting a woman’s arm movement. The word ‘crin’ is a French word for horsehair. The crinoline suggesting a crin lining was used to give the shape a foundation. 1 1. Victorian Era Fashion The evening occasions gave women liberty in respect of their apparel. A woman could bare the shoulder and upper part of the chest. At times the neckline was trimmed over with a 3 to 6-inch deep lace flounce which was draped with a number of horizontal bands of fabric pleats. This fashion was restricted to the upper and middle classes. Victorian Era Skirts During the early years of the Victorian era, namely the 1840 and 1850 period, the gowns worn by women were narrow and had sloping shoulders. They also had low but pointed waists and bell-shaped skirts. Women wore corsets, which reached up to the knees and layers of petticoats under their gowns. Later on, pantalettes and crinoline were used instead of petticoats and chemise. The reason for this change was that the size of the skirts had extended andso pantalettes was more suited to this new change. The dresses worn bywomen during the day had a solid bodice. For the evening occasions, women had some liberty as they could bear the shoulders and upper part of the chest. The outfit was completed by a shawl and opera-length gloves. This was the case of upper and middle-class women. Shawls also formeda part of the Victorian clothing. By 1860, the skirts were flat at the front. The day dresses had pagoda sleeves and a high neckline. These necklines either had a lace or tatted collar on them. However, for the evening wear, the gowns had a low neckline and short sleeves along with appropriate gloves. 1.2 Men’s Fashion During the Victorian era, male clothing included coats, vests and hats except when they were doing hard labor jobs. Any clothing less than this was considered unsuitable. It was important for a man to have a waistcoat or vest. These vests could be bright colours or dark shades and were used asan accessory to change the tone of the suit. Hats were considered as an essential part of the men’s clothes. There were a selection of hats to suit different occasions. Even men wore an accessory that 2 1.2. Men’s Fashion suited their clothes. Men wore ties, pocket watches and a walking stick and adding to the outfit were gloves. Men’s trousers originally had legs covering in tight fitting cloth but, the fashion progressively changed to a loose tubular style. Straight slacks, with a crease in front and back were commonly seen by the end of the Victorian era. There was also a variation in the day coats worn by men. These coatshad changed into long coats, mostly in black colour. Waistcoats or vests made from wool were usually used for day wear or as an office wear. 3 2.

  • The Shape of Women: Corsets, Crinolines & Bustles
    The Shape of Women: Corsets, Crinolines & Bustles – c. 1790-1900 1790-1809 – Neoclassicism In the late 18th century, the latest fashions were influenced by the Rococo and Neo-classical tastes of the French royal courts. Elaborate striped silk gowns gave way to plain white ones made from printed cotton, calico or muslin. The dresses were typically high-waisted (empire line) narrow tubular shifts, unboned and unfitted, but their minimalist style and tight silhouette would have made them extremely unforgiving! Underneath these dresses, the wearer would have worn a cotton shift, under-slip and half-stays (similar to a corset) stiffened with strips of whalebone to support the bust, but it would have been impossible for them to have worn the multiple layers of foundation garments that they had done previously. (Left) Fashion plate showing the neoclassical style of dresses popular in the late 18th century (Right) a similar style ball- gown in the museum’s collections, reputedly worn at the Duchess of Richmond’s ball (1815) There was public outcry about these “naked fashions,” but by modern standards, the quantity of underclothes worn was far from alarming. What was so shocking to the Regency sense of prudery was the novelty of a dress made of such transparent material as to allow a “liberal revelation of the human shape” compared to what had gone before, when the aim had been to conceal the figure. Women adopted split-leg drawers, which had previously been the preserve of men, and subsequently pantalettes (pantaloons), where the lower section of the leg was intended to be seen, which was deemed even more shocking! On a practical note, wearing a short sleeved thin muslin shift dress in the cold British climate would have been far from ideal, which gave way to a growing trend for wearing stoles, capes and pelisses to provide additional warmth.

  • Women in Pants: a Study of Female College Students Adoption Of
    WOMEN IN PANTS: A STUDY OF FEMALE COLLEGE STUDENTS ADOPTION OF BIFURCATED GARMENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA FROM 1960 TO 1974 by CANDICE NICHOLE LURKER SAULS Under the direction of Patricia Hunt-Hurst ABSTRACT This research presented new information regarding the adoption of bifurcated garments by female students at the University of Georgia from1960 to 1974. The primary objectives were to examine photographs of female students at the University of Georgia in The Pandora yearbooks as well as to review written references alluding to university female dress codes as well as regulations and guidelines. The photographs revealed that prior to 1968 women at UGA wore bifurcated garments for private activities taking place in dorms or at sorority houses away from UGA property. The study also showed an increase in frequency from 1968 to 1974 due to the abolishment of the dress code regulations. In reference to the specific bifurcated garments worn by female students, the findings indicated the dominance of long pants. This study offers a sample of the changes in women’s dress during the tumultuous 1960s and 1970s, which then showed more specifically how college women dressed in their daily lives across America.

  • Here/There, Now/Then, Both/And Regionalism and Cosmopolitanism in Edith Wharton’S Old New York
    7 Here/There, Now/Then, Both/And Regionalism and Cosmopolitanism in Edith Wharton’s Old New York June Howard It may seem strange to turn to Edith Wharton’s Old New York for insight into the international and cosmopolitan dimensions of her work. Indeed, this relatively little read volume sits slightlyCOPY askew in any easily available cat- egory. It is not a novel but a complexly connected group of four “novellas.” It could be called local color because, as the title proclaims, it portrays a very particular place. But it hasn’t been, as it is located in the metropolis, and that term is usually reserved for tales set in rural New England landscapes like Ethan Frome and Summer. It is focused on the nineteenth century, with the subtitle of each tale specifying a decade in sequence from the 1840s to the 1870s; yet its publication in 1924 makes it a relatively late work, and its per- spective is clearly modern. This essay argues for unsettling literary-historical categories, reading through the lens of regionalism to help us to recognize the volume as a sophisticated rendering of the paradoxical place of cosmo- UPFpolitanism in American cultural history and the recursive relation of those fundamental categories: time and place. Each of these four stories can stand alone, and they have an interesting history of separate publication. They are also linked by common themes and techniques and are far more resonant Regionalism and Cosmopolitanism in Wharton’s Old New York · 167 when read—as Wharton intended them to be—together.1 Each is firmly set in New York City and frequently invokes European, usually Italian, as- sociations and travel.
