During the reign of Queen Victoria, Great Britain was at its peak with the most powerful empire. Economics and culture during that period were prosperous. This also translated in fashion; the Queen Victoria era is now referred to as the ‘beginning of fashion.’ Rich women in that era used to wear different layers of beautiful dresses, enriched by ruffles, lace, and jewelry. The clothes showed women’s place in society. The accent was put on the waistline and often they used corsets for getting a smaller waist. From this style, a particular type became popular, which is the gothic Victorian dress.

A gothic dress is made of pure cotton, black color, and has many layers. The skirt is long and has volume, contrasting very well with the upper part of the dress, which fits on your torso.

The focus is on the waist and neckline, making an outstanding effect.

Sometimes the skirt volume is increased by a crinoline, which will add extra size and a beautiful image. The crinoline will help to create an hourglass silhouette effect, accentuating the hips and evidence the small waist obtained by using a corset. The dresses like this are made with satin, lace and are designed with many ruffles. This design is precious and sophisticated and emphasizes the waist but also the cleavage. The cleavage area is enriched by a piece of jewelry, like a brooch out in the center, making all outfits more precious.
