Victorian Costumes For Girls And Men
When a Victorian Costumes springs to mind. You might imagine about feathered hats with wide edges, bustles, silk, satin and velvet pleats. The Victorian age set a strong trend for males and females, offering a good range of chic styles for costumes.
Clothing outlined somebody's place in society. The clothing of the Victorian age wasn't stuffed with stylish clothing the select wore classy clothing while everybody else wore easy styles and fabrics. This modified after the stitching machine changed into a house hold item. Remember costumes are for fun, select a costume that feels like a costume.
An "hour glass" shape is a classic style for the Victorian age. Select a dress with a shape which will flow to the floor in an acceptable way, with pleats and bustles. A socialite would wear a feathered hat and evening gloves for the last touch style.
A married girl in the Victorian age would change the fabrics of a dress to satins or velvet and crispy silks. This also asked for older women. They wore a hat at any time. The width of a hat is also vital as the width of the hat should balance with the width of the dress.
A change in angles came with the mid nineteenth century with a hot trend making beach resorts thought of as a place of heath and delight. This made a style change for the socialite's of the time. They needed to buy the newest trends on the marketplace for beach clothing before taking a much wanted trip to a chilled vacation beach resort. A beach costume may put you in the same relaxing mood.
An ideal costume for a beach style is the Ships Captain costume that features an official pair of pants highlighted with gold strips, breasted jacket also with gold trim, and a Captain's hat to close the look. Sizes should not be an issue with this style of costume.
A Captain should have a wonderful girl on his arm wearing a seemly full length skirt and a jacket with blue or gold buttons from the pinnacle of the jacket down the skirt or a jacket buttoning on one side. A hat with a wide edge for shade and 'down feathers" to shine the look to perfection.
The "bertha" style featured low cut shoulder lines, trimmed with inches of lace flounce with bands of pleats. A man accompanying a woman with a "bertha" style could wear a tailored cut suite. Middle class men class men would wear a different coat. A tailored cut suite showed masculinity and class status.
A correct man in the ideal costume wears pants with placket detail, a double breasted jacket, with a lined vest.
As the Victorian age evolved so did the clothing style causing many styles to be accepted. A new closefitting and natural style became popular. If a more reveavling style costume is what your searching for then the late Vitorian style is for you. Try a pin striped morning coat with a velveteen vest.
Fashion for men represtended the time in the affectations, haircuts, and class standing. Imfluenced by a cultured movemet of dress. Bringing robes, belted jacket and robes into the Victorian time. With a big varitey of Victorian costumes permits you to truly enjoy the act of wearing a costume.
