History: The Victorian seaside visitor was clothes conscious. Huge trunks were packed with clothes slightly less formal than those worn for town. Ladies wore their crinolines and round hats, an impractical costume for blustery coasts and damp sands. As long as the clothes were fashionable they wore them. For general holiday wear and travelling to destinations women wore shorter skirts minus trains. Large ribbon streamer straw hats were a great seaside favourite in the mid 1850s. Many paintings of the seaside illustrate the straw hat fashion alongside bonnets with brims with projecting frames of cane covered in silk. They were called 'uglies' and were used to shield a woman's face from the sun. In the 1870s crinolines were exchanged for tight corsets and bustles.
