Ok I realise it's been a while but I finally stumbled across what that skirt reminded me of way back on page 3.
(It's an actual antique from 1904. I realise it's not actually bustled, like this, or bubbled or whatever, but it's close enough.)

Wow, that's a very slim line for a victorian dress. You dont see many of those. I think I prefer the bustled look actually.

No need to quote the post right above yours.
Also it isn't Victorian, it's Edwardian. The Victorian era really ended about 10 years before Queen Victoria's reign in 1901; silhouettes changed pretty dramatically after that.
Mid-Victorian
Late-Victorian
In between, the Princess of Wales was the head of fashion or whatever because Queen Victoria was still in mourning and people were sick of it.
Edwardian started the crazy S-bend corset thing.
Everyone started chilling out around 1907 or so. Silhouettes were slimming down toward the 20s by 1913, too.

Yeah sorry about that, people tend to post so fast I've become paranoid about not quoting.
Ahh I see, thank you.
How do you feel about this recent 40's trend in fashion? I'm very excited about it personally, my looks fit in very well with that style.
calenlass:
Well, this past fall was supposed to be a resurgence of 60s mod, but I didn't see that much except in the colours (there was this horrible teal), and it didn't last through to spring. It would be nice if this lasted longer, but I doubt it.
Besides, there are those of us that tend to favour that era outside of when it presents itself in Vogue, so whatever.
