FASHION 1830S-1850SR O M A N T I C E R A F A S H I O N .
Fashion post Neo-classical age began to focus more on the
feminine, fragile, doll-like quality of women. The whale-bone
corset emphasizes the bust and layers of petticoats begins to
provide a bell affect to the skirts (later hoop added 1860s).
Beautiful colors, designs combined with lace to further over
exaggerate the female figure. Women are to be protected and
the heavy skirts and feminine trimmings confirms this notion.
Also the covering of all part parts in the era in daytime
focuses on modesty and proper behavior. Fashions in this
period harken back to the 1770s-1780s and even the
hairstyles (curls in 1830s-40s) and balloon/bell sleeves reflect
17th and Renaissance connections. The textile industry booms
as women’s fashion desires more and more fabric and lace!
