Victorian clothing refers to the styles worn during the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901. This era is characterized by elaborate garments, with women often wearing long dresses with fitted bodices and full skirts supported by crinolines or bustles. Fabrics like silk, lace, and velvet were popular, and clothing often featured intricate details such as ruffles and embroidery. Men's fashion in the Victorian era included tailored suits, waistcoats, and top hats. The three-piece suit became standard, and accessories like pocket watches and gloves were common. Both men and women often wore layers, reflecting the social norms and values of the time.
