VICTORIAN ERA COSTUMES ( 18th and 19th century)
In Victorian Era women often wore a tightly laced corset over a bodice or chemise, and paired them with a skirt adorned with numerous embroideries and trims; over layers of petticoats. The layering of these garments make them very heavy. Corsets were also stiff and restricted movement. Although the clothes were not comfortable, the type of fabrics and the in-numerous layers were worn as a symbol of wealth.
