FISHWIFE

In costume, the fishwife is a style of dress that was popular for girls around 1880 to 1885. The fishwife draped overskirt was a long, loose, ankle length skirt that had an integral bodice and was often made from a different fabric than the underskirt, and was gathered at the back and occasionally at the front also.
