EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a stunning grey dress from the year 1899, featuring intricate soutache trim. The dress is a beautiful blend of Victorian and Edwardian styles, with a jacket bodice that boasts rounded basques and a high-necked front that extends over the hips to form a deep vandyked yoke. The plain black high-necked front adds an elegant contrast to the grey fabric and the soutache trim, which is adorned with intricate embroidery. The figure in the photograph wears white gloves and holds a Victorian-era fan, adding to the historical authenticity of the costume. The dress is reminiscent of the Russian aristocracy during this time period, as the use of soutache trim was popular in Russian court fashion. Soutache is a type of braid or cord used for trimming clothing and accessories. It was often used in Victorian and Edwardian fashion to add texture and visual interest to otherwise plain garments. The intricate embroidery on the soutache trim in this dress is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating high-end fashion during this era. The dress is a beautiful example of the opulence and elegance of late 19th-century fashion. It is a reminder of a time when fashion was an art form, and clothing was a reflection of one's social status and wealth. The intricate details and historical accuracy of this dress make it a valuable addition to any collection of Victorian or Edwardian fashion.
