EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning evening dress, dated 1889, features Countess Cadogan in a decollete gown that showcases the fashionable trends of the late Victorian era. The deep V-neckline and pointed bodice accentuate the elegance and sophistication of the countess, while the box-pleated skirt adds volume and texture to the dress. The most striking element of this gown, however, is the cascade of drapery at the back, which adds a sense of drama and allure. The use of feathers and a fan in the countess's hand further emphasizes the opulence and extravagance of the evening. The bustle at the back of the skirt, a popular feature in Victorian fashion, adds shape and definition to the dress. The intricate beading and embroidery on the bodice and skirt add a touch of elegance and refinement to the overall design. The late Victorian era was known for its ornate and elaborate evening wear, and this dress is a perfect representation of the fashionable trends of the time. The deep decollete neckline and cascading drapery at the back were popular choices for formal events and balls, allowing women to showcase their beauty and elegance. The use of feathers and fans were also common accessories during this period, adding a touch of glamour and sophistication to the overall look. This photograph, taken in 1889, captures the essence of the Victorian era and the timeless beauty of evening wear. The intricate details and elegant design of the dress, combined with the countess's graceful pose and the use of accessories, make this a truly captivating image that transports us back in time.
