Women's Fashion
Walking Dress, ca. 1835, Silk To maintain the triangular silhouette, a detachable pelerine, or capelet, sustained the broad shoulder line of the period. The waist, still not quite at its natural position, is made to appear small by the expanse of the dress above and below. The bell-shaped skirt is supported by petticoats and reveals the feet (which would soon be swallowed up by longer skirts for the remainder of the century). 1830 Dress, 1830 Fashion, 1830s Dress, Romantic Era Fashion, The Romantic Period, 1830s Fashion, Historical Gowns, 19th Century Clothing, Walking Dress
