DRESSES TO DIE FOR
The Victorian Mourning Craze
A Salon in the Cemetery with Amber Butchart
A part of the London Month of the Dead
At the Dissenters Chapel, Ladbroke Grove, Kensal Green Cemetery
When Prince Albert died of typhoid 1861 his wife Queen Victoria was plunged into a deep depression, retired from public appearances and for the remaining 40 years of her life wore only mourning, thus creating the stern images of her that we know today. The result was to make mourning culture - already codified in etiquette and dress - deeply fashionable among nineteenth century ladies.
Amber Butchart's talk will cover funereal fashion at its finest and most regal, focusing on the Victorian cult of mourning, including Maisons de Deuil (mourning warehouses), mourning etiquette and jewellery, and how the colour black has been in fashion ever since.
