Death Photography Attire
In the Victorian era, post-mortem photography became a common way to remember loved ones. Deceased individuals were dressed in formal clothes and posed as if alive. Families would keep these photos as keepsakes, often propping bodies upright and painting on open eyes.
Sometimes living family members posed alongside the dead in coordinated outfits. The fashion and styling aimed to maintain dignity in death, reflecting the era’s complex relationship with mourning. Though eerie today, it was once a deeply meaningful and fashionable memorial practice.
