The Victorian Era was a time of discoveries and experimentation. It fascinates me to see how fashion evolved during the time of Queen Victoria's reign and how society's view on women affected the way they dressed. I could not imagine wearing some of the things that the women of this era wore!
Queen Victoria was the queen of Great Britain from 1837 until 1901. It was at the beginning of her reign that the Victorian Era began.
Men were the main focus of fashion before Queen Victoria ruled. When Queen Victoria began her reign, it became the wife’s job to show off the status and wealth of her husband to the public.
Since Queen Victoria reigned for 64 years, her fashion changed over time, resulting in the fashion at the end of the era being quite different than that at the beginning.
