What did Victorians wear?

Answer 1

Victorian woman would wear long, elegant dresses. Victorian men would wear suits and a hat usually. Boys would wear shorts and shirt like today and girls would wear dresses. The poor during the Victorian era did much the same as the poor in our own time; they wore many of the same styles, but made out of much cheaper materials. Also, there are several other things they did: 1. Made their own clothes, where the wealthy went to dressmakers and tailors, 2. Had much simpler clothes. The poor did not have evening wear, or fancy additions to their clothes. 3. Had very few clothes. A man may only have had 1 suit, a pair of work pants, and a couple of shirts. A woman may have had only 2 daytime dresses, and one good dress for church or a fancy occassion.
Men wore a waist coat, wealthy men wore top hats but poor men wore caps, most men used a walking stick or a cane, they also wore a scarf called a "Ruff."

Women wore skirts or dresses so it was hard to see their knees, skirts that spread over large hoops were later on fashionable, at the end of the era the hoop disappeared from view and it was back to slimmer skirts, most women wore bonnets or hats, women often wore shawls, Ladies wore a corset to pull in their waist. Young Victorians tried to have a waist the same size as their age. Eighteen years old? That meant you would strive for a seventeen inch waist, and most ladies had an umbrella. Upper class women wore clothes made from delicate fabrics and expensive ribbon.

Children wore similar to what their parents wore. Poor Victorian people wore rags and clothes that had been thrown out by rich people.
Victorians wear long dresses with a corset and a big pillow to make there bottoms look big that was the ladies style back then.

However when the child where under 5 years old boys and girls had to wear dresses that dragged behind them 1ft!
