Woman's clothing

In the 1870's, Woman's clothing have been long, big dress's. In the article of Fasion History Timeline, Harper Franklin said "the volume of the skirt had begun to swing backwards, a departure from the circular skirts of the mid-century. This trend became fully realized in the 1870s, with the focus of clothing concentrated at the back, as skirts projected backwards and fell flat against the body in the front. The decade saw two distinct silhouettes in womenswear, both maintaining the focus on the back of the skirt." They have focused more on the back side during the 1870s than the 1860's. This dress is no where to be found within the modern century. These dresses were kicked out for a different style, They would be long, but not fluffy on the bottom, and they could either be tight or loose against the body.
