1830s and 1840s in fashion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 1830s and 1840s fashion in European and European-influenced clothing is characterized by an emphasis on breadth, initially at the shoulder and later in the hips, in contrast to the narrower silhouettes that had predominated between 1800 and the 1820s. 1830s hair fashions for evening featured elaborate loops and knots extended out to both sides and up frome the back of the head. 1840s sleeves are narrow, unlike the gigot sleevs of the 1830s or the pagoda sleeves of the 1850s and 1860s. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/1840s_in_fashion   (568 words)

Fathom :: The Source for Online Learning By the 1850s and 1860s railways were well established throughout Britain and Europe and, with Bradshaw's British, Continental and Indian guidebooks to deatil connections, town descriptions and hotel accomodation, the family could make its own way, withough necessarily using the services of Thomas Cook. Victoria and Albert became fashion leaders for a more domesticated, family kind of tourism that started with the Queen's state visit to Scotland in 1840 and ended up as annual holidays at Balmoral, hardly more than a cottage in 1843, but a small country house retreat by the early 1850s. Above all fashion itself was a major accessory, with styles targeted at both men and women. www.fathom.com /feature/122375   (1924 words)

The Shawl:An Article of Dress Fashionable lace shawls evolved in the 1850s and the 1860s from a flounced shawl to a square and half-square single layer shawl. Fashionable for almost 100 years (1790-1870) Kashmir shawls were woven in a twill weave, mostly by men. Rectangular, double square shawl that came into fashion in the 1840s with the crinoline skirt. www.geocities.com /shadowofthesundial/shawls.html   (5796 words)

About the Production My first breech of historical accuracy comes in the fact that we have settled for a very un-fashionable (according to 1850s and 1860s fashion) waist measurement of 27" (down from 29"). Today, a fashionable 1850s waist is unachievable for the average woman. In the 1850's we would have seen the roots of what we label today as "Victorian". orathost.cfa.ilstu.edu /jmwilso4/production.htm   (2720 words)

Bradford Sculpture Trail - Art - Bradford City Hall The 'gothic revival' was very much a fashion of the 1850s and 1860s and Bradford received its fair share of this rich tradition. The building however, is elevated in quality by the fine sculptural addition of 35 seven foot high carved sculptural figures of British monarchs. The City Hall encapsulates the Victorian love of the 13th century gothic style, with a dock tower in the form of a Tuscan campanile. www.ngfl.ac.uk /sculptrail/sculp1.html   (520 words)

EJANZH: Articles: Veracini: Revising Revisionist History For example, at the end of the 1970s, in a Russian doll-like fashion, nineteenth-century racial conflict could still be depicted as it had been during the 1930s and as, in turn, it had been represented in the 1860s: Maori had the capacity to prepare defenses exhibiting a higher profile, although this was somewhat limited by resource and time constraints: one very plausible explanation would be that they decided to eschew this approach because of the need to minimise the effects of British artillery. But this only proves that given the specific circumstances of Maori technological development and the necessities brought about by modern warfare it was possible to autonomously develop this type of response (and that the modern pa was probably within the conceptual technological capabilities of Maori military planners). www.jcu.edu.au /aff/history/articles/veracini.html   (520 words)

Skirt and dress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Skirts started fairly narrow and increased dramatically to the hoopskirt and crinoline-supported styles of the 1860s; then fullness was draped and drawn to the back by means of bustles. The hemline of skirts and dresses can be as high as the upper thigh or as low as the ground, depending on the whims of fashion and the modesty or personal taste of the wearer. The other is an effort by certain fashion houses such as Jean-Paul Gaultier to increase public awareness that unbifurcated garments such as skirts and dresses are only recently and only regionally considered solely a women's garment. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Skirt   (1508 words)

Articles - Eugénie de Montijo When she wore the new cage crinolines in 1855, European fashion followed suit, and when she abandoned vast skirts at the end of the 1860s, at the encouragement of her couturier, Charles Worth, the silhouette of women's dress followed her lead again. Her interest in the life of Queen Marie Antoinette sparked a fashion for furniture and interior design in the neoclassical style popular during the reign of Louis XVI. As she was educated and very intelligent, Eugénie's husband usually consulted her on important questions, and she acted as Regent during his absences, in 1859, 1865 and 1870. www.lifevalley.com /articles/Empress_Eugenie   (1508 words)

Fashion In The 1850s And '60s - The Ladies Treasury of Costume and Fashion The advantage of an enormous skirt is that it gives the illusion of a tiny waist without the need for tight-lacing; but many women did tight-lace, especially in the late '60s, and this became a contentious subject that was to recur in the fashion press of the Victorian period. The Garibaldi blouse (an informal, scarlet flannel, military style) also became popular during the 1860s. Shawls were very fashionable outerwear during the 1850s but the jacket bodice was also developing into a stylish alternative. www.tudorlinks.com /treasury/articles/view185060.html   (1589 words)

England's Disgrace? J.S. Mill and the Irish Question His aim is 'to fashion a thorough and systematic analysis of Mill's multi-faceted engagement with the Irish Question.' To that end chapters are arranged chronologically, tracing Mill's thought from the 1820s through the 1860s. This is a detailed and rich study by an eminent Mill scholar that makes an important contribution to our understanding of the Irish Question in the nineteenth century. Despite Mill's stature as leading public moralist and pre-eminent mind of his age, there has been no comprehensive examination of Mill's thought about one of the most incendiary political issues of that age. www.utpjournals.com /product/utq/721/721_review_loeb.html   (1796 words)

Chapter I - A Tale of Two Countries But the Ontario Liberal party used the issue in a mercenary political fashion to add a religious flavour to the demands of Riel's provisional government, and Prime Minister Macdonald (not one to let an opportunity slip by) moved immediately to impose a military solution on the situation suitable to the majority of his Eastern electorate. Thus both nations, the Dominion of Canada and the United States of America--newly born in the mid-1860s--turned their gaze West and dreamt of ascendancy from sea to shining sea. Canada was likewise having difficulties in dealing with the indigenous peoples of her Western frontier. www.dickshovel.com /two.html   (1796 words)

Jamaica, Genealogy, George Eliot: Inheriting the Empire After Morant Bay But by the time of Morant Bay in the mid-1860s a new idea of race had arrived to disrupt the Victorian antislavery consensus; the founding of the Anthropological Society was one example of this cultural shift. The Ethnological Society from which Hunt and his followers felt compelled to distance themselves had been founded back in the 1840s as an offshoot of the Aborigines Protection Society, one of the abolitionist and philanthropic organizations that formed the backbone of middle-class dissenting culture from the late eighteenth century onwards. James Hunt, who modelled the Anthropological Society of London on Broca's Société anthropologique de Paris, argued torturously that it was not yet proven that "the offspring of all the mixtures of the so-called races of man are prolific. social.chass.ncsu.edu /Jouvert/v1i1/watson.htm   (12983 words)

Representative Crowley: New York: Sunnyside The area is named for a roadhouse built on Jackson Avenue to accommodate visitors to the Fashion Race Course in Corona during the 1850s and 1860s. Sunnyside is a neighborhood in northwestern Queens, lying within Long Island City and bounded to the north by the Sunnyside Yards, to the east by Calvary Cemetery and 51st Street, to the south by the Long Island Expressway, and to the west by Van Dam Street. The Queensboro Bridge opened in 1909 and from it was built Queens Boulevard, which ran to the center of the borough through Sunnyside, where streets were built along the boulevard. www.crowley.house.gov /newyork/sunnyside.htm   (12983 words)

Boston city hall - Cyburbia Forums Boston city hall was built to human scale just like those delightful plazas in East Germany.It reminds me of the Institute of Fashion and Technology Institute on W 27 st and Eighth avenue[Manhattan]No matter which direction you look at it from it just looked worse. The City government was so enamored of the new one that they almost tore down the old (which dates from the 1860s). I've read quite a bit about have the urban renewal of the west end 'saved' Boston but unfortunatly it happened at a time when modern architecture was (I think) at it's worst. www.cyburbia.org /forums/showthread.php?p=11131   (1007 words)

Second Empire But during the time of its popularity (1860s to 1880s) the Second Empire style was considered modern, very European and the height of fashion. Hollywood has long used this house style as the setting for ghost stories and hauntings, probably due to its imposing appearance and size. It is frequently 2½ to 3 stories in height, and cupolas often rise above the center of the roof making the structure look even larger. www.michigan.gov /mdot/0,1607,7-151-9609-29334--,00.html   (215 words)

Bustle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The bustle later developed into a feature of fashion on its own after the overskirt of the late 1860s was draped up toward the back and some kind of support was needed for the new draped shape. Although most bustle gowns covered nearly all of a woman, the shape created by the combination of a bustle and corset (accentuating the rump, waist, and bosom) resulted in a highly erotic and idealized conception of femininity. The bustle was worn in different shapes for most of the 1870s and 1880s with a short period of non-bustled, flat-backed dresses from 1878 to 1882. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bustle   (418 words)

Bustle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The bustle later developed into a feature of fashion on its own after the overskirt of the late 1860s was draped up toward the back and some kind of support was needed for the new draped shape. It reappeared in 1883 and survived into the 1890s and early 1900's as a skirt support was still needed and the stylish shape dictated a curve in the back of the skirt to balance the curve of the bust in front. The bustle had completely disappeared by 1905 as the long corset of the early twentieth century was now successful in shaping the body to protrude behind. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bustle   (418 words)

Lecture 4: The Medieval Synthesis and the Discovery of Man: The Renaissance Since the 1860s when the Swiss art historian Jacob Burckhardt (1818-1897), published his Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy in two volumes, it has been the fashion to regard the essence of the Renaissance as "the rediscovery of the world and of the natural man." Those are Burckhardt's words. The expression Renaissance was not invented by Burckhardt or any other historian-- instead, the word was realized by the scholars of the Renaissance. This is far too simple, I think -- the reason being that any semi-intensive study of the period known as the Renaissance reveals numerous intellectual and cultural cross-currents that defy our penchant for pigeon-holing. www.historyguide.org /intellect/lecture4a.html   (5114 words)

The Spectacular Female Body: Dress, Fashion and Modernity in Victorian Women's Magazines Becker was defending the corset as an integral part of a distinctly feminine dress; it remained an essential part of women's dress well into the twentieth century and is currently enjoying a comeback in high fashion circles. Notwithstanding the controversy about tight-lacing, the corset could be seen as an essential fashion item which gave a particular shape and enhanced the waist; or, it could be seen as an apparatus which imprisoned and restricted movement. Most of the corset controversy revolved around the dangers or pleasures of tight-lacing; the spectacle or promise of the wasp-waist represented the extremes of corsetry, and debates about it appeared intermittently throughout the period, culminating in a long-running controversy in the pages of The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine in the 1860s. www.fathom.com /course/21701733/session2.html   (663 words)
