Victorian skirts are long, opulent skirts inspired by 19th-century fashion: high waist, layers of tulle and lace, ruffles, and a train at the back. This collection features women's styles in black, burgundy, and deep purple, blending historical cuts with Castle Gothic aesthetics. A Victorian skirt forms the lower half of an outfit, paired with a corset or a blouse. Below we outline the silhouettes, fabrics, and ways to wear them.

Long Victorian Skirts with a High Waist

The foundation of the style is a long high-waisted skirt that accentuates the waist and elongates the figure. Maxi styles reach the ankle or the floor, and a high, often wide waistband pairs beautifully with a Victorian corset worn on top. Some styles feature an elasticated back waistband, allowing for a wider range of waist adjustment.

Layered Tulle and Lace Skirts

The second major group consists of layered skirts in which tulle and lace build volume and the silhouette characteristic of the era. The layers overlap to create a rich, full skirt, while lace trims and panels break up the uniform black. This type most strongly captures the romantic, Victorian character.

Victorian Skirts with a Train

A separate variant includes asymmetric skirts and skirts with a train — shorter at the front and longer at the back, or featuring an attachable train reminiscent of a tournure. The train elongates the back of the silhouette and gives the outfit a dramatic, formal look. These styles form the lower half of a more occasion-worthy ensemble.

Black Victorian-Style Skirts

Black skirts are the backbone of the collection, as black is the foundation of the entire range. Alongside it, burgundy and deep purple appear most often on lace trims and linings. Fabrics include tulle, lace, velvet, and satin, frequently combined within a single style for a contrast of textures. A wider selection can be found in the gothic skirts collection.

What to Wear with a Victorian Skirt

A Victorian skirt is the lower half of an outfit, so you choose the top separately. It looks best with a corset and a lace-up blouse, creating a complete historical ensemble. We have gathered the entire line in this style in the Victorian clothing collection, and if you prefer a cohesive look without mixing pieces, see the Victorian dresses collection.

Victorian skirts are available in sizes from S to plus sizes, and it is worth comparing the length of the style with your height. Exact measurements, length, and fabric composition are listed on each product page.
