An era which began by prizing natural, barefaced beauty ended with women purchasing lip and cheek rouge, false hairpieces and pomades, and fashionable perfumes made with expensive spice oils and animal essences.<\/p>\n<p>Using research from nineteenth century beauty books, fashion magazines, and lady&#8217;s journals, Mimi Matthews brings the intricacies of a Victorian lady&#8217;s toilette into modern day focus. In the process, she gives readers a glimpse of the social issues that influenced women&#8217;s clothing and the societal outrage that was an all too frequent response to those bold females who used fashion and beauty as a means of asserting their individuality and independence.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"><span class=\"a-text-italic\">USA Today<\/span>\u00a0bestselling author\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-bold\">Mimi Matthews<\/span>\u00a0writes both historical nonfiction and award-winning Victorian romances.

Mimi Matthews answers these questions and more as she takes readers on a decade-by-decade journey through Victorian fashion and beauty history.<\/span><br \/>\nWomen&#8217;s clothing changed dramatically during the course of the Victorian era. Necklines rose, waistlines dropped, and Gothic severity gave way to flounces, frills, and an abundance of trimmings. Sleeves ballooned up and skirts billowed out. The crinoline morphed into the bustle and steam-moulded corsets cinched women&#8217;s waists ever tighter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":54022,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"product_cat":[35],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.8 -
