EDITORS COMMENTS
Springtime in April 1870 brought a refreshing change to women's fashion, as paletots and waistcoats began to replace the heavy bodies that had dominated winter wardrobes. In this elegant image from Mary Evans Picture Library, a stylish woman dons a fashionable paletot, a topcoat with a short length and a fitted waist, perfect for the transitional weather. The paletot was a popular choice for dinner and afternoon events, offering both style and practicality. The woman's outfit is further accessorized with a delicate ribbon bow at the waist, adding a feminine touch to the ensemble. The full skirt, a hallmark of Victorian fashion, is still present but takes a backseat to the new trend of the paletot. This image offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the early 1870s, a time when Paris was the epicenter of haute couture. Women looked to the City of Lights for inspiration, and the latest trends quickly made their way across the European continent and beyond. The paletot, with its sleek lines and modern design, was a testament to the ever-evolving world of fashion. The woman's expression in the photograph exudes confidence and sophistication, reflecting the pride and joy that came with being on the cutting edge of style. The soft lighting and intricate detailing of her outfit add to the overall allure of the image, making it a captivating representation of the fashionable world of the late Victorian era.
