Back to Victorian fashion…

We had been discussing Early Victorian fashion and the influences that caused a somewhat “sudden” (over about a 3 year span) change to become what is defined as Mid Victorian fashion era.  (Sewing machine, professional fashion designers, the crinoline hoop, and synthetic dyes).

Now we will discuss the fashion features that resulted from those influences, so you will be able to look at an historical example and be able to place a rough date on it.
