EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to October 1858, an era of elegance and opulence, as we explore the fashion trends featured in the "Illustrated London News." In this image, three distinctive outfits are showcased, each embodying the unique style and sophistication of the period. First, a dress in the latest fashion called a "six lis," boasting a double skirt made of six breadths of silk in two different hues. The three-quarter high corsage is adorned with a small Antoinette fichu, while the wide sleeves are also made of two contrasting silks. The lower skirt is composed of chequered silk, and the bonnet is crafted from paille-de-riz. The second ensemble displays a green silk double skirt, with a high, pointed waistline and a plain corsage. The scarf mantelet, trimmed with rich chenille fringe, adds an element of luxury. The bonnet is made of white silk, and the under trimming consists of a demi-wreath of white daisies placed on the upper part of the forehead. Lastly, an evening costume in white muslin is presented, featuring three flounces and a low corsage adorned with Maltese lace. The sleeves are trimmed with the same lace, and a sash of tartan ribbon is tied in a bow at the waist. Black velvet bows adorn the shoulders, and a collerette of black velvet is fastened at the throat with a pearl brooch. The head-dress is adorned with bows of black velvet, fixed by pearl-headed Italian pins. These exquisite fashion plates offer a glimpse into the grandeur of the past, showcasing the intricate details and textures that defined the fashion world in 1858.
