EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases one of a pair of matching dresses worn by two sisters at the Duchess of Richmond's Waterloo Ball in Brussels on June 15,1815. The exquisite silk gauze dresses, created by an English School artist from the 19th century, are now housed in the Fashion Museum Bath. The significance of this particular ball lies in its timing, as it took place just three days before the historic Battle of Waterloo. Attended by almost every senior officer of the Anglo-Allied army assembled in Belgium, including the renowned Duke of Wellington himself, this grand celebration was abruptly interrupted when news arrived that the French Army was approaching. As a result, half of the guests were forced to abandon their festivities and prepare for battle. Despite this interruption, these stunning striped brown and red gowns symbolize not only a momentous occasion but also sisterly unity and coordination. The empire style dresses exude elegance with their gold accents and regal design. This photograph serves as a reminder of both fashion history and significant events during Napoleonic times. It captures not only the beauty and craftsmanship behind these garments but also offers glimpses into society life during that era. A true testament to British heritage and victory at Waterloo, these matching dresses continue to captivate viewers with their timeless charm even after centuries have passed.
