Topic: 1890s in fashion


  
  Victorian fashion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If we carefully restrict our language, however, and take Victorian fashion to refer to the dress, or in a wider sense, the culture of an upper-middle-class London family of fashion and conventional attitudes, and describe it as it varied from decade to decade, we may be able to usefully describe these phenomena.
Women's fashionable clothing started with a straight, Regency silhouette, bloomed into exaggerated skirts and sleeves, moved to small shoulders and even wider skirts supported by crinolines or hoops, and narrowed by way of the bustle to hobble skirts.
Men's fashionable clothing was perhaps the least volatile, but there was still an enormous difference between the wasp waist and frock coats of the 1830s dandy and the sober sack suits and Norfolk jackets of 1901.

 Bloomers (clothing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They were worn by a few women in the 1850s, but were widely ridiculed in the press, and failed to become commonly accepted (see 1850s in fashion).
These early bloomers were partly an attempt to adapt young girls' short skirts and pantalettes to adult women's attire, and were partly influenced by middle-eastern clothing styles (or what was thought to be middle-eastern styles) — hence the name "Syrian costume".
In 1909, fashion designer Paul Poiret attempted to popularize harem pants worn below a long flaring tunic, but this attempted revival of fashion bloomers (under another name) did not catch on.

 Fashion In The 1890s - The Ladies Treasury of Costume and Fashion
Fashion magazines flourished as the cost of printing fell, as more women tried to keep up with the fashionable elite and as the thirst for novelty and consumer goods widened.
The fashionable woollen tailored costume that had been favoured in the previous decade consisted of a skirt and a tailored bodice, often in the form of a jacket with a fitted lining and a loose, false front, that resembled a blouse.
Evening dress of the 1890s was carried out in the richest silks such as satin, moire and brocade and were often highly decorated around the neckline, hem and up the gored seams of the skirt.

 WWD Fashion Dictionary
“Fashion” is most often used as a synonym for the current style in clothing, however sociologists and other scholars who write about fashion are more likely to use a definition that says that fashion has two elements.
Today, fashions may originate with all levels of society, even the least affluent, and when this happens, it is known as “percolate up” or “bottom up” fashion change.
Current fashion has moved away from one universal style for all and instead various segments of the consuming public, especially the young, are likely to dress in fashions that show that they belong to a particular group or a style tribe.

 Loveday Brooke
By the end of the 1890s, the fashion in fictional female detectives had moved from professional businesswoman such as Loveday, 'G' or Mrs Paschal to sexually attractive young women who was less threatening to male 'superiority' because she could be married off on the final page.
In the 1890s, the independent, unmarried woman was a rare creature.
Cox points out that by the mid to late 1890s, detective story writers tried to effect a "deliberate distancing of the detective from the ascetic, hawk-faced image established by Holmes", but this had not yet come into effect at the time CL Pirkis was writing.
