Victorian Era vs Modern Era

This week, I want to talk about the comparison of fashion in modern era and Victorian era. In Victorian era, one of the most important thing for women was maintain a good body shape to have a good image. Victorian era was known of their elegance and feminity. Most of nobility women tend to wore such a complicated dress. The gown they wore consist of several layers. Women in Victorian era use petticoat to make the gown more puffy and corset to maintain the body shape. Usually the gown were square neckline and there are laces. They style their hair and use a lot of hair accessories, such as hat, jewelry, and parasol.

This is what they called as petticoat to make the dress more puffy.

But, as we can see in this modern era, women tend to wear a simple dress or gown. Most of the women in this era prefer to wear mini dress. Not too complicated and not too much accessories around the body, less people wear corset because it is not so comfortableand quite painful. Dress in the victorian era is more detail like laces all over the gown, but dress nowadays is less detail the only put detail in certain part of the dress. And how they do a hairdo is different, nowadays the way we do a hairdo is simpler, we don't put so much accessories in the hair.

Those are the difference between modern fashion and Victorian era fashion. In the past, women will do anything to keep their good image and femininity, but in this era, there are so many style of fashion not only femininity.
