Step back in time to February 1857, as depicted in this wood engraving from the renowned Illustrated London News. Three elegant figures, two ladies and a gentleman, are showcased in this vintage fashion spread. The costumes of the ladies have been meticulously drawn from dresses freshly completed at Madame E. Devy's fashionable magasin des modes, located at 73, Lower Grosvenor-street in Britain. The ball dress, worn by the lady on the left, is a stunning creation of white tarlatan fabric, adorned with five flounces, each edged with white silk fringe. The square-shaped corsage is trimmed with ribbon and fringe, while the head-dress features a lappet of white lace and a cache-peigne bouquet of variegated roses. The lady on the right wears an out-door dress of dark lilac taffeta, with three flounces, each edged with embroidery in shades of violet silk. Her mantle, made of black velvet, is trimmed with tassel fringe, and she dons a bonnet of white terry velvet, adorned with lilac feathers and blonde trim. The gentleman, dressed in formal attire, completes the ensemble. This engraving is a captivating glimpse into the fashionable world of the Victorian era, offering a glimpse into the elegant clothing trends of the time. From the full hoop skirts and crinolines, to the ruffled petticoats and frilly dresses, this image is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of 19th-century fashion. The detail and craftsmanship of this wood engraving are truly awe-inspiring, making it a must-have for any fashion or history enthusiast's collection.
