EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of a beautiful gown from Scotland, dating back to the late 18th century. The dress, made of silk and linen and meticulously hand-stitched, is an exquisite example of fashion from that era.
The gown features a sack back style with a robe à la Française design, showcasing intricate Rococo-style decoration on the open bodice and elbow-length sleeves. The vibrant yellow silk taffeta fabric adds a touch of elegance to the overall look.
Believed to have been worn by the wife or daughter of John Richardson at Pitfour Castle in Perthshire, this garment exudes sophistication and grace. Its timeless appeal speaks volumes about the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating such elaborate pieces during this period.
As we admire this piece from centuries past, we are transported back in time to an era where fashion was not just about clothing but also about making a statement. This gown serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage associated with costume design in Scotland, showcasing both beauty and tradition in equal measure.
