The victorian age is striking in the clothing fashion. Some of the most stunning gowns ever created were made during the Victorian era. They used the fine fabrics, such as silk, satin, and muslin. They are indeed beautiful, but there are so many more to see! Attention that was paid to the smallest of details was the hallmark of an expert seamstress or dress-maker; often it took anywhere from 5 months to one year to complete a single evening gown.

As we see here, the ball gowns were the only dresses in the victorian period that allowed for a deeper neckline and shorter sleeves.
