The fashion in the 19th century grew throughout the reign of Queen Victoria. Until 1820s, mostly women's dresses were affected by French which is classical ancient Greece style. 
After Queen Victoria became queen, the fashion style changed dramatically. 

In the 1830s, they took in more colors and wore tighter-waisted skirts, large hats, and bonnets. Usually, the upper classes dressed fashionably. Because of the technological advances, women's fashion started to change rapidly from the 1840s. Dresses from the 1840s became dominated by restrictive corsets and framework underskirts. However, the tight corsets became unbearable and cage crinoline was invented. It was more flexible and comfortable. In the 1870's and 80s, crinoline changed into that of the rear bustle and it became fashionable. In the 1890s, the style of skirts changed to slender shape. However, that style was hard to wear and restricted movement.
