Riassunto

A companion volume to Historical Fashion in Detail: The 17th and 18th Centuries and Modern Fashion in Detail, this book captures the opulence and variety of 19th-century fashion through an authoritative text, exquisite colour photography and line drawings of the complete garments. From the delicate embroidery on neoclassical gowns to the vibrant colours of crinolines and the elegant tailoring of men's coats, the richness of the period is revealed in breathtaking detail.
Seen in close-up for the first time and further illuminated by detailed captions and line drawings that show the ingenuity of the underlying construction, these carefully chosen garments illustrate some of the major themes of 19th-century dress. The chapters cover subjects ranging from technological innovation to the Victorians' love of fashions reflecting the natural world and information about each garment is given in the individual captions.
