For my fashion history course homework I had to design either a modern outfit or costume based on the Victorian ear. So I did some research on pinterest and found this burgundy dress. I took inspiration from this garment and interpreted the neck line plus the detail into my design of the Victorian blouse. I then use bloomers for sleeves and gathered the material in at the wrist with a lace and flair trim. This top also has bones inside to give the woman shape as would a corset. Obviously since the Victorian era style has changed massively so this design could be worn with either skinny light denim jeans or black leggings. I have styled the garment with jeans and a simply black high wedge shoe and long messy hair with a middle parting.
