EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking mid-17th century print from Mary Evans Prints Online showcases a mourning dress worn by a woman during the mid-17th century. The dress features a pointed bodice with intricate lace detailing, creating an elegant and sophisticated decolletage. The bodice is adorned with tabs, adding texture and visual interest to the garment. The mourning dress is accompanied by a cloak-like garment with a hood, which adds a sense of mystery and solemnity to the ensemble. The large, slashed sleeves of the dress are also visible, revealing the delicate lace falling collar beneath. The over-skirt of the dress has been hitched up to reveal a floral petticoat, adding a pop of color and femininity to the otherwise somber outfit. The woman wears a veil, further emphasizing the mourning theme. The neckline of the dress is adorned with intricate lace, adding an air of elegance and refinement to the ensemble. A fan is tucked under the woman's arm, suggesting that she may be taking a moment of respite from the mourning proceedings. The pearl detailing on the bodice and the lace on the sleeves add a touch of luxury and opulence to the dress, making it a fitting attire for a woman of high status during this period. The mid-17th century mourning dress is a beautiful example of the intricate and ornate fashion of the time, and serves as a reminder of the importance of fashion in expressing one's status and emotions.
