EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print showcases a stunning dinner dress from the late 19th century. Created between 1884 and 1886, this silk gown exemplifies the height of fashion during that era. The bustle, which was at its most exaggerated extension in 1885, is prominently displayed in this piece. Almost perpendicular to the back and heavily upholstered, it adds a dramatic flair to the overall silhouette. Designed by Mme. Grapanche, a renowned fashion designer of her time, this dress represents the elegance and sophistication of women's attire in the late 19th century. The rich red color of the silk fabric further enhances its allure and makes it truly eye-catching. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, USA, this exquisite garment is an object of admiration for those who appreciate historical fashion. Its intricate details and impeccable craftsmanship are testaments to both the skill of its creator and the evolving trends of that period. As we gaze upon this photograph print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to an era where ladies embraced femininity through their fashionable choices. This dress serves as a reminder of how clothing can be not only functional but also works of art that reflect societal values and aspirations.
