The bases of the trouser block is similar throughout the Victorian/ Edwardian period, though the type and styling of the trousers change depending on the use and type. Through the decades of the Victorian period the width of the hem widened and narrowed, the waist became higher and lower, the leg became narrower/ baggier and the use of different fabrics came in and out of fashion. For more information on this read Victorian Gentleman's Fashion an earlier blog. The pattern block above show some of the different styles of the period and are useful to determine the cut and tailoring as well as comparison.
