Gli abiti con le spalle a forma triangolata e obliqua che allungavano la linea del collo divennero molto ricercati durante l’Ottocento. Questo ideale di bellezza si rifletteva nei corpetti dei vestiti formali del decennio 1860-70, che erano di solito caratterizzati da un collo a barchetta scollata. Essendo le spalle scoperte, i corsetti erano privi di spalline o modellati con spalline abbassate e larghe. La sagoma ampia e a campana delle gonne dell’epoca era resa possibile dall’invenzione, circa un decennio prima, del cerchio di crinolina. Intorno al 1865 questi cerchi sempre più larghi erano in grado di sostenere gonne di ampiezza enorme.
