Can somebody please give me a long description on Victorian costumes.
Thank You
Victorian era - 1837-1901; there were changes in fashion throughout the era. From the leg o'mutton sleeves, tiny waists and bell skirts of the first few year, the round crinoline came in in the middle years, then then front flattened out to leave a bustle at the back at the end of the era.
"The early Victorian era was characterized by bonnets instead of hats, ringlet curls and thinner, sometimes quite constricting, arms on ladies' dresses. The ultra-small waist was valued in this time period, and lots of bone was used to painfully constrict and reshape a woman's body into the fashions of the day.
The bell-shaped skirts of the 1830s gave way to much bigger skirts requiring many petticoats and crinoline to support. Evening dresses for upper class women began to bare the shoulders, and cashmere wraps were popular for warmth and to cover up some skin.
As the era progressed, princess-cut dresses became popular, and petticoats and crinoline began to give way to bustles. In the last 20 years or so of the Victorian era, slim-fitting dresses with trains were popular. There was also a "hard bustle" almost like a shelf on the back of the skirt.
Lines tended to get slimmer and more form-fitting as the era progressed, but then toward the end there was a resurgence of mutton sleeves and wider skirts as were seen in the beginning of the era.
Men's fashions did not change as dramatically over the years, but the aesthetic dress movement influenced a lot of artistic men like Oscar Wilde (women were influenced by this movement, too) to wear more natural, undyed clothing, often with embroidered embellishments. Velvet jackets, breeches or Turkish trousers and flowing robes were all the rage among this group."

A look at a black Victorian Dress from the Plainsman Museum in Aurora, NE
You're thinking of Seurat.

My son is doing a play at school, and has to wear a black gentlemans outfit, and plays the part of a mourner. Would a black suit with a cream waistcoat and tie be ok.
Black, of course, and with trimmings. In deep mourning (and especially at the funeral itself) black suit (tail or frock-coat), black necktie (wider and more obvious than today's ties), white shirt, black crepe wrapped around a black top-hat. Black kid gloves were essential. To get the feel, look at the outfits still worn by the mutes still used by a few old-fashioned undertakers. Their costume hasn't changed much since the Victorian period.
The rest of the time, in his ordinary suit, black gloves and armbands and black crepe on his hat were enough. The suit didn't need to be black, but dark colours would be worn.
Over time (a year for close family tapering down to a week or so for someone only slightly known) the mourning signs would be gradually dropped. The hatband went first, followed by the black gloves and armbands.
However, I suspect that much less would pass in production. If the lad is dressed in heavy black, the point will be made. Merchant Ivory would of course have the costume correct in every detail, but that sort of expense might be over the top for a school play.

like i was trying to find out what are the articles of her clothing. like all of her clothing from the most under clothing right out to her out-est clothing. or another words as if she was started to dress from being totally naked to fully dressed to go for a walk.
IDK alot about it, but i live in norfolk, va... where the settlers landed, there is alot of historical stuff arond here. and victorian woman would only get fully undressed like 2 times a year. which is when they took baths. they were like 23 layers and only take some off to sleep.
Thats all i konw off the top of my head.
