Women Standing Indoors

This illustration shows the fashion of the 1890s. Both women are in shirtwaists, inspired by the men's fashion trend at the time. They have puffed sleeves, an hourglass figure, and bell shaped skirts which allowed for more movement. The women also wear their hair tightly above their heads, as was fashionable at the time.
