EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the fashionable streets of Paris in 1874, as depicted in this photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online. The women in this image exude elegance and sophistication, dressed in the latest trends of the era. The dresses in this photograph feature single, trained skirts with tablier fronts in two contrasting colors. The tabliers, or apron-like fronts, add a playful and feminine touch to the otherwise formal attire. Ruffs, a popular accessory of the Victorian era, are worn around the necks of the women, adding an air of refinement and delicacy. The polonaise, a popular style of bodice with a full, pleated skirt, has been replaced by a more streamlined basque. The basque bodice, which fits closely to the body and cinches at the waist, creates an hourglass silhouette that was highly desirable in 1874. Some women opted to wear large basques over their bustles, while others chose to wear a sash tied around their waist instead. Children, too, were not left out of the fashionable trends of the day. They can be seen wearing miniature versions of the adult fashions, complete with ruffs and tabliers. Hats, both large and small, were an essential part of the Parisian woman's outfit. In this photograph, some women wear elaborate hats adorned with flowers and ribbons, while others opt for simpler designs. This photograph offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of Paris in 1874, a time when style and elegance were paramount. The intricate details of the dresses, the playful use of color, and the timeless beauty of the women make this an image that is sure to captivate and inspire.
