Victorian Girl: What decade?

[Hurrr]

I want to research Victorian woman's wear so I can visualize the file better, but I don't know which type because Victorian fashion changed though the decades. Cardigan, if you see this thread, could you tell me which decade it's from?

There is a timeline at the bottom of the page, just tell me which decade I should research. Thanks.

Just google it, you will find victorian era clothing is all quite similar.

It's not all the same, and I want to get the most accurate visualization that I can.

Watch Pride and Predijuce.

Here's a thought, just pick the decade you want. I don't think Cardigan had any particiular decade in mind.

Pride and Prejudice takes place before the Victorian Age, but anyway if you don't get the specific answer you want, the 1880s - 1890s fashion I'd imagine would be what the average person would think of when thinking of the Victorian Age.

yeah just pick the one you like best

Well, I am no great knower of fashion, but I know what I like :-)! I wasn't thinking so much of the early stages of Victorian fashion. More of the later years, where corsets and petticoats became the thing. I remember looking a lot in Wikipedia prior to making the file. There were some very inspiring pictures of Victorian fashion, that I used to visualise. I think it must be the late Victorian period. Think of Sherlock Holmes and the ladies fashions usually depicted in the many TV stories with him.

I hope that helps, but like loony28 said: you can use the file with virtually any period of the Victorian age, where corset and petticoats are in use, and it will work fine, and you subconscious will create the images for you, that you want to use with it.

Best wishes and thanks for your interest!

A very interesting question indeed.

Nope. "Pride and Prejudice" takes place in the Regency period, more than a decade before Victoria ascended to the throne and thus ushered in the period that is named after her.

They didn't wear corsets, either, instead prefering dresses that, to me, look like fashion for pregnant women.
