EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an exquisite evening dress from the 1870s, crafted with silk satin and preserved at the Fashion Museum Bath. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this garment represents a fleeting fashion trend of that era - the princess line dress. This all-in-one slender gown was fastened with a row of buttons or hooks and typically worn with a bustle. The cream-colored fabric drapes gracefully, enveloping the wearer in elegance and sophistication. The intricate pattern adds depth to its stylish design, while delicate lace embellishments adorn the collar and cuffs, enhancing its Victorian charm. This full-length ensemble epitomizes fashionable attire during this period. Donated by Lady Trefgarne to eFashion Museum Bath, this remarkable piece is now part of their collection. Its historical significance lies not only in its beauty but also in being representative of a short-lived fashion trend that emerged in the late 1870s. As we gaze upon this stunning photograph print captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era where clothing was meticulously designed and tailored to reflect societal norms and tastes. It serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved over time while retaining its ability to captivate us through artistry and craftsmanship.
