Madame Victorine (19th-century), was a French fashion designer couturier.[1]

Madame Victorine was initially a student and business partner of the famous Madame Guérin, an elite milliner of the Bourbon Restoration.

She was an established fashion designer during the Bourbon Restoration and the July Monarchy. She enjoyed a successful career, came to have an influential position within the French fashion industry and mentioned as a member of the elite fashion designers in Paris, and was noted to be the perhaps most noted fashion designer in Paris in the 1830s, alongside Madame Palmyre, Madame Oudot-Manoury and Beaudran.

She was a favorite milliner of Queen Victoria.[2]
