Women's Victorian clothing is inspired by nineteenth-century fashion: corsets, long gowns, blouses with jabots and puff sleeves, maxi skirts and velvet blazers. Here you will find styles in black, burgundy and cream, made of lace, velvet and jacquard. If you are looking for less historical cuts, take a look at our women's gothic clothing.
Victorian dresses and gowns
Victorian dresses include long gowns with lace and puff sleeves, a velvet dress with red panels, a red ruffled dress and cream and white lace dresses, including off-the-shoulder styles. A separate group is made up of corset dresses, including brown steampunk styles, and a long corset gown with embroidery and chains.
Corsets and blouses
Victorian corsets feature lacing, boning, lace or ribbons. The classic styles are black and red lace-up corsets and a corset with raised lace. There are also steampunk corsets: brown styles, some with shoulder straps, and a cream corset with lace. The range is rounded off by a velvet corset belt with a decorative hem and a brown steampunk belt. Victorian shirts and blouses in white, cream, black, burgundy and red, with jabots, puff sleeves or lace cuffs, go well with a corset and a skirt.
Skirts, blazers and coats
Among the Victorian skirts there are black velvet and lace maxi skirts, long styles with ruffles and lacing, and cream and beige steampunk skirts with a high-low hem. Over a dress or blouse you can wear a velvet blazer with lace or ruffles, an embroidered jacket or a women's Victorian coat. The coats include long styles in velvet or jacquard and designs with a faux fur trimmed hood.
Capes and accessories
Over a gown you can throw a long hooded cape with faux fur, and over a blouse a brown steampunk bolero with puff sleeves. Finish the look with a top hat with a feather and roses, one of our gothic hats. Outfits like these can be seen every year at the Victorian picnic during the Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Leipzig, where thousands of people in corsets, lace, velvet and top hats gather at Pentecost.
We have gathered men's shirts, waistcoats and trousers in this style in the men's Victorian clothing collection. Sizes, measurements and fabric composition are listed on each product page.
