EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1897, showcases a woman elegantly dressed in a serge costume, an outfit that was a popular choice among women during the late Victorian era. The serge fabric, a durable and versatile material made from worsted wool, is evident in the narrow, textured skirt and fitted bodice of her ensemble. The woman's attire is accessorized with a parasol, adding a touch of refinement and protection from the sun. The woman's posture exudes confidence and poise as she strolls outdoors, her parasol held gracefully in one hand. The high collar of her blouse and the long sleeves suggest that this was an outfit suitable for various occasions, both formal and informal. The slim waistline and cinched corseted silhouette are characteristic of the late Victorian fashion trend, highlighting the hourglass figure. The serge costume was a practical yet stylish choice for women during the 1890s. Its durability made it an ideal fabric for everyday wear, while its versatility allowed it to be dressed up for more formal events. The woman in this photograph embodies the essence of late Victorian fashion, blending elegance, practicality, and sophistication in her serge costume. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion trends and societal norms of the late 1800s. The woman's serene expression and the beautiful natural surroundings add to the timeless charm of this image.
