This week's find also comes from Ebay, and this time it is a beautiful 1890's dress.
Though it is listed as 1890-ies, from the not to wide, not too puffy sleeves I think it is toward the second half of the decade, but it is absolutely beautiful.
By 1890-ies years, bicycles were widely available, which meant a huge change to women, practically it was like women were kicked in the butt toward independece, sport, feminism and such, which also brought changes to their dressing: All the "cumbersome" structures, like corded petticoats, crinolines, bustles were taken out under their dresses, especially their skirt, and started toward, the more practical, easier to wear dressing.
