Ottoman Dress in the West Instagram

“Quartermaster Fabry, 1st Hussars,” c. 1858. Anne S. K. Brown Military Collection, Brown University Library. A French veteran of the Napoleonic wars, in his original uniform.

“The Zouave Jacket, for Dinner or Evening Dress, Two Designs” (Godey’s Lady’s Book and Magazine, 1860. Art and Picture Collection, New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations.) The caption states it is made of embroidered velvet or cashmere and “worn open from the throat, à la Zouave, displaying a white silk or muslin vest underneath.” Also note the hanging sleeve.

The military dress of Algeria retained its Ottoman-style, braid-trimmed jackets and baggy trousers after the French occupation, and this uniform was adopted by the new French colonial regiments. “Zoavo (Algeria),” 1846. Art and Picture Collection, New York Public Library Digital Collection.

“Vivandières of the French Army,” 1859. Art and Picture Collection, New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations. The different costumes are related to different army divisions. Note the jacket and turban of the 'Zouave' on the left.

“Amaelia Bloomer,” New York Public Library, This 1850s clipping from a German newspaper shows how far this image of feminist dress reform had spread.

“Studio portrait of models wearing traditional clothing from the province of Aïdin (Aydın), Ottoman Empire" (1): Christian merchant of Aïdin (Aydın); (2): Rabbi of Smyrna (İzmir); and (3): bourgeois of Manissa,” 1873. Library of Congress. (Photograph by Pascal Sébah.)
