Victorian Fashion
Victorian fashion cannot be applied as a generalized term. Clothing, décor, manners, and morals varied from year to year, country to country, and class to class. Whether or not there is a style or unified culture connecting a Scottish fisherwoman, for example, and an aristocratic London lady, is up for interpretation. However, the term is applicable when restricted to the dress or culture of an upper-middle-class London family of fashion and conventional attitudes as it varied from decade to decade. Contemporary stereotypes of the Victorian era, while not historically valid, provide insight into current uses of the term "Victorian".
Due to the oft-changing nature of Victorian fashion, the links below will take you to information and images for various decades.
