Victorian Silk

What fabrics or designs were used in the Victorian Era fashion ?

Was beading or lace and silk popular?
What colours?
Please help. It’s for my textiles major work.

The Victorian era was over 60 years, there are dozens of fashions during that period from intricate designs and crinolines through to the “rational dress reform” taking in Pre-Raphaelite’s artistic clothing and William Morris textiles. I suspect you will need to narrow your approach.
