The end of the Victorian era merged into a new age of Edwardian fashion with the rise of the Gibson Girl silhouette. Dramatic mutton sleeves replace elaborate skirts with lighter fabrics and colors creating a romantic mood.
1890s sewing patterns include dresses but more often skirt, bodice or blouse, and vest separates. The bicycle riding bloomer pants and split skirts and swimming suits are also trending now. You can’t forget the dreamy 1890s ballgowns (or wedding dresses) that make historical costuming beautiful.
