Free Victorian Dress Graphic: 1859 Victorian Dress Fashion Illustration

Aren't these four Victorian dresses fabulous?! This antique illustration of Victorian dress fashion is absolutely lovely. The material is gorgeous! They are quite stunning and sumptuous. It looks as if these ladies are enjoying a day by the sea. However, how can they have fun wearing so much clothing? And, that young man certainly earned his keep transporting each lady to the shore and back. Seriously, not all four of the women could have ridden in the boat at once! I hope they tipped him well. Enjoy!

This is a beautiful 1859, Victorian dress fashion graphic from a Godey's Fashion book. The fabric patterns are stunning and as big as those skirts! These ladies seem to be having a lovely afternoon visiting with one another. They seem to be having a wonderful and engaging conversation. In fact, they are so engaged they are ignoring the poor little child standing behind them. She apparently has something important to say, as she has her hand raised; however, as the saying goes, children should be seen and not heard. And, by the look of this child's outfit, the saying is certainly true. Poor thing! I wonder what she has to say. Enjoy!
