EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning evening dress, dating back to the year 1882, showcases the elegant and ornate fashion trends of the Victorian era. The low-cut, pointed bodice, adorned with intricate jet and diamante trim, accentuates the neckline and adds an air of sophistication. The decorative plastrons, which extend from the bodice to the hips, add an extra layer of detail and texture. The epaulettes, located on the shoulders, add a touch of military-inspired flair. The dress is available in both black and white versions. The black dress, made of checkerboard fabric, is further embellished with diamante trim and jet accents. In contrast, the white dress features elegant pearls and artificial flowers, adding a touch of femininity and delicacy. The buttonhole scallop detailing on the sleeves and the intricate design of the train add to the overall grandeur of the dress. Accessories such as buttonhole gloves and a fan were essential companions to complete the look of the Victorian woman. The high-quality fabric and meticulous attention to detail in the craftsmanship of this dress are a testament to the artistry and skill of the time. This beautiful piece of history transports us back to an era of opulence and elegance, where fashion was a form of self-expression and a symbol of wealth and status. The intricate design and timeless beauty of this evening dress continue to captivate and inspire us even today.
