The Late 1880s Silhouette and Tailored Outwear Trends
This historical illustration highlights the evolving bustle silhouette of 1888, featuring slimmer underskirts paired with draped overskirts and severe, military-inspired bodices. The garments showcase intricate textile patterns like bold diagonal stripes, rich navy blue wools, contrasting yellow vests, and elaborate feathered hats typical of late 19th-century styling.
