When you search Modern Victorian Era Fashion, you would already see some awesome outfits or clothing. But I feel it gives more of a vibe of the era than expressing more of the detail and how they would really dress and the whole meaning to it.
“She wore tight corsets to give her a teeny waist – I helped her lace them up – but they had the effect of causing her to faint. Mom called it the vapors and said it was a sign of her high breeding and delicate nature. I thought it was a sign that the corset made it hard to breathe.”

The Victorian fashion era began with Queen Victoria’s reign in 1837 and ended in 1901 upon her death. It marked a pivotal time in Britain’s history and around the world. In fashion, the Victorian era is an elaborate display of class, wealth, beauty and purpose for women and men. The layers of dress and suiting required of poor and rich alike were impractical, sometimes uncomfortable but always beautifully fashionable. Victorian fashion began with large dresses, poke bonnets and modest coverings for the ladies while men displayed color, pattern and rigidity in their attire. By the end of the era, a simpler silhouette was making waves, leading the next Edwardian generation to new freedoms in life and fashion.
