Civil War Dresses

History of 1860s Civil War Era Women's Attire

During the 1860s, Civil War Southern Belle outfits represent the everyday clothing worn by female citizens of Gettysburg and Victorian women visiting battle sites. A wide range of specialized Civil War dresses were created for every occasion, including mourning gowns, formal ball gowns, and riding habits. Wealthy Victorian ladies owned multiple styles for different moments of the day. A morning dress featured simpler design. An evening dress was cut low at the shoulders, ideal for formal parties. A walking dress paired with a matching pelisse jacket, a vital piece to complete the whole outfit. Let our authentic period clothing take you back to the 1860s Civil War era.
