Victorian Seaside Fashion Illustration - Late 1800s Women’s Beachwear #195722 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white illustration depicts two women modeling late 19th-century seaside fashion, likely from the 1890s. The woman on the left wears a light-colored sailor-style dress with a button-front bodice, puff sleeves, an anchor pendant, and a patterned turban; the right wears a dark velvet-like dress with geometric trim, a beret adorned with a bow, and a decorative sash. Both outfits reflect the era’s blend of modesty, utility, and emerging leisure culture, with knee-length skirts over bloomers and lace-up shoes suitable for sand and boardwalks.
