Questions About Victorian Ladies Desk
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 7, 2024
    Rich Victorian ladies typically wore dresses layered over undergarments. First, women would put on a crinoline, which is a petticoat with a hoop that allowed the skirt of a dress to flare outward. Toward the end of the Victorian age, women often added bustles, which caused dresses to stick out in the back. On their upper bodies, women wore corsets that pulled in the waist and accentuated the bosom. It was customary for women to change clothes prior to dinner, and each clothing change usually required the assistance of maids for the fasteners and ties. Shop a collection of Victorian apparel on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    In the Victorian era, wealthy ladies wore dresses. An hourglass figure was the standard of beauty for the time, and women wore layers of petticoats and tight-fitting corsets to narrow their waists and accentuate their hips. Typically, women sported bonnets along with their dresses. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of women's apparel and accessories.
