1850s dress was still relatively conservative and not quite as exuberant as that seen in the coming Victorian era. Simple daydresses and bosom-flattening corsets were common to this era. Bloomers made a brief appearance in 1851. Dubbed the 'Turkish costume,' bloomers were embraced by Elizabeth Cady Stanton as a feminist reaction to the masculine ideas of proper women's attire. Stanton's friend Amelia Bloomer, publisher of the reform paper called The Lily, printed sketches of the odd costume in 1852, and it gained popularity among feminists in the early 1850s.
