Clothing Styles in Victorian England

CLOTHING STYLES IN VICTORIAN ENGLAND:

  • Styles of clothing also emphasized differences between men and women.
  • In Victorian England, dutiful and obedient women were considered ideal ones. They were expected to bear pain and sufferings.
  • On the other hand, a man symbolized strength, depth, seriousness and responsibility. Norms or ideas of clothing reflected these ideals.
  • From childhood, girls were tightly laced up and dressed in stays. The effort was to restrict the growth to their bodies.
  • When slightly older, girls had to wear tight fitting corsets having a busk. Tightly laced, small- waisted women were admitted as attractive, elegant and gracefully. Thus, clothing played a key role in creating humble and obedient Victorian women.
