The Victorian Christmas look of a Dickens novel

The stories of Charles Dickens are set in Victorian England, a period characterized by floor-length skirts, a cinched waist and a cape or hooded cloak to ward off the cold. The plaid pattern and fur trim evoke winter street scenes with Christmas carols and lanterns. This look is therefore closer to that of a nineteenth-century lady than a modern Christmas lady in a short dress. As the skirt falls past the feet, the silhouette remains completely covered.

Which shoes and accessories suit this Dickens look?

Choose closed-toe shoes in black or dark red, so that no modern details are visible beneath the long skirt. A muff or hand muff, a lantern or a bundle of Christmas carol books completes the street scene. Wear your hair in a low bun or pinned up under the hood for a nineteenth-century effect. White gloves and a simple brooch keep the look understated, so that the gold-colored decorative band on the front remains the only shiny accent.
