Answer / guest
In the Victorian era a widow would mourn for two and a half
years, with the first year and a day in full mourning.
During that time pieces of the crape covered just about all
of a garment at deepest mourning, but the crape was
partially removed to reach the period of secondary mourning
which lasted nine months. After that the crape was defunct
and a widow could wear fancier lusher fabrics or fabric
trims made from black velvets and silk and have them
adorned with jet trimming, lace, fringe and ribbons. In
the final six months a period called half mourning began.
Ordinary clothes could be worn in acceptable subdued shades
of grey, white or purple, violet, pansy, heliotrope, soft
mauves and of course black.
