I’ve
decided to look into Early Victorian fashion, the period where Great
Expectations was set. This will enable me to get the right sort of styling for
my final images.
Early Victorian fashion had a Romantic style of dress. Large Gignot sleeves suddenly slimmed and a seam line dropped the shoulder of dresses. Tight fitting bodices were boned and slanted to emphasize a ladies waist. Cartridge pleats at the waist created volume in the skirt without adding bulk to her midriff. Women of a higher social class wore these fashionable dropped shoulder lines and corsets, like Miss Havisham and Estella.
