Fashion influenced society on many levels in the nineteenth century. There were many trends in fashion, from fabrics to clothing styles. This article will give you an overview of the period as well as the various elements that influenced the style and clothing choices of women. In addition, we'll cover reformers, fabric types, and periodical fashions.
Styles of clothing
Fashion in the 19th Century was marked by elaborate, colorful, and sometimes gaudy textiles. The era also witnessed changes in consumption habits. The emergence of mail-order business in the late 1860s changed how people bought and sold clothes. This allowed people to send clothes and accessories by telegram, train, or telegram. It was similar to the habits of today's online shoppers.
The waistcoat was becoming increasingly elaborate and more voluminous. It was made of rich, sometimes jacquard-woven silk. It draped over the shoulders with floral or paisley patterns. The Spencer jacket was also popular and fastened high around the neck. This jacket had sleeves that were long enough to protect the hands. Pelisses were very common in winter.
Periodicals
The 19th century saw a lot of fashion periodicals. In this time period, more than 100,000 fashion periodicals were published. Some of these journals have been kept on as academic journals. The Lancet, for instance, started publishing in 1823. Titbits, a notable publication of the period, was also mentioned by George Orwell in his famous novel Animal Farm. The Ladies Mercury, first published in 1693, as well as the Young Ladies Journal first appeared 1823.
As the world economy expanded and postal rates rose, magazine publishing also soared. The gap between high-quality magazines versus cheap weeklies was still there. Women's magazines that were cheaper than those published in high-quality magazines started to appear around the 1830s. These magazines had very high moral content and little or no intellectual content. Some magazines, like Lady's Magazine were geared specifically toward women who are fair-sex.
Fabrics
Fabric design underwent major change in the first part of the 19th Century. New silhouettes and fabrics were introduced to women's gowns. During this time, certain fabrics were only for women while others were reserved to men. The Industrial Revolution changed the way textiles were made and used. Inventions in the textile industry allowed for plain and patterned textiles to be made at a faster pace and at lower prices. This made fabric accessible to a larger portion of society.
While textiles have become more affordable, high-quality silks remain expensive. Silks that were fashionable in the eighteenth centuries were used to create many of the dresses of the nineteenth century. It was common for women to pass down their dresses to the next generation. It is rare to find an 18th century dress that hasn’t been altered.
Reformers
In the 19th century, women wore many different styles of clothing. Many of these outfits were inspired by the Reform movement. This period saw women wear long dresses and tight corsets. However, the dresses of the early 20th century were more loose and could be worn with or without corsets. Women began to wear suffragist gowns, which were generally white, as a symbol and of purity and moral superiority.
The fashion reformers were not the only ones who made a difference. There were also reformers involved in interior design and architecture. In Germany, the British Arts and Crafts movement was particularly influential. Reformers from Austria also participated in the reformation of women's clothing. Henry van de Velde was an architect who promoted art nouveau styles and wrote about the aesthetics behind women's dresses. He also observed that modern interior design should be in keeping with modern architecture.
