The period of the victorious era<\/strong> starting from 1830 to 1901, marked the expedition of a powerful, opulent, and voguish woman- Queen Victoria<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n Known for transforming<\/strong> the future of Britain, Queen Victoria was a woman in power<\/strong> in a society where women were no less than a piece of show and grace. She did not just have a major role to play in the country\u2019s politics but her ethereal fashion left momentous footprints on the world of fashion<\/em> and continues to inspire numerous designers even today. It sculpted<\/strong> most of the styles, that are blissfully worn by the modern woman.<\/p>\r\n Victorian Era fashion, prominent because of its intricate detailing<\/strong> and accentuating<\/strong> a woman\u2019s body, was dominated by the use of luxurious fabrics, whalebone corsets, hats<\/strong> and bonnets and layers of petticoats<\/strong>. The era witnessed a plethora of changes in the style but the ideology of representing the wealth<\/strong> through garments remained constant.<\/p>\r\n However, the elements changed with the changing decades. From petticoats to crinoline to bustles, the women of that time had undergone every kind of hardship<\/strong> to portray an image of a woman with an ideal body<\/strong>. Be it deriving the perfect waistline using a metal corset, carrying crinoline made from horsehair to get that perfect skirt shape or tying rectangular bustles on the hips, making it hard to even sit, the 19th-century woman has done it all. Albeit magnificent, the garments of the sumptuous era lagged practicality<\/strong> and comfort<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n The hands of the clock influenced the neckline of the elegant gowns<\/em>. The day was the time where women adorned high necked dresses with lace detailing, whereas, evenings allowed women to expose their neck and shoulders.<\/p>\r\n Apart from the ponderous gowns, the era was famous for its extravagant use of accessories<\/em>. Ornamented hats, exquisite jewelry, and colorful parasols, collectively gave the woman of the Victorian Era her poise.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
