The Changing Silhouette of Victorian Women's Fashions -1880s - Hagen History Center
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
1880s fashion was much more slender than the previous decades. In fact, women were often heavily restricted due to how slender these dresses were. There were two main styles of women’s dress in the 1880s, the first of which was the princess line. This style was extremely tight and body hugging which gave women a slender silhouette. It also focused on putting decoration on the lower back.
