In the late 19th century, around 130 years ago, Canadian women’s clothing and appearance reflected the societal norms and fashion trends of the Victorian era. This period was marked by elegance, modesty, and intricate detail in both attire and personal grooming. Hair was usually styled in elaborate updos, with curls or braids arranged neatly at the back or sides of the head. Accessories such as hats with feathers or flowers, gloves, and brooches were popular and completed the look.
