Heyo! I’m fiddling around with a story set in the 1890s, located around Germany and Russia, and was wondering if anyone knew about any websites with accurate info and images about clothes during that decade.

I couldn't specifically find German and Russian 1890 outfits but I found some western clothes during the time period

Okay! Thank you!

You're welcome ^.^

So if you're looking for accurate images, then I recommend searching for photo archives online - this is a really good time period for photography which means you won't have to search very long. For example, there's this really cool project from Russia that put over 80,000 images online (https://russiainphoto.ru/search/years-1889-1899/?query= - unfortunately it's all in Russian but the website layout is pretty intuitive). I just filtered it to the time period you were looking for and that would give you a good look at what people actually wore. (of course it also depends on social class, season, location, etc.)

Oh rad! Thank you so much!
