1800's Fashion

Starting back from the mid 1800's, fashion began evolving in four different ways that would potentially change the future of fashion trends. The sewing machine was first invented, followed by the designs of women's dress that were starting to be made with specific design patterns. There were also dyes that were made which then allowed the colors of the fabric to be more dramatic and intense. Lastly, there was a crinoline domed skirt silhouette that was designed with a flattened front and showed a larger back which gave it a very unique look. A woman in the 1800's only wore dresses and long evening gowns everyday!

Some of the mid 1800's styles that were worn then, have been carried through many different changes in fashion trends over the years, yet still having the same basic look! For example, there were skirts and tops that were called aprons and they draped over the women making them look like a beautiful piece of upholstery. Rounder waistlines were in style and they gradually became higher. Some of the dresses had slim fitting sleeves with a larger, dramatized bottom to the dress. There were also evening dressing worn that were form fitting and lightly draped with fabric and elongated with a train.
