EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Mme Darsonval's Parisian creation from 1897-99. The intricate details of this wool, silk, and lace ensemble are truly remarkable. The waist-length garment measures 109.2x61 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. Its grey wool and silk poplin fabric is lined with a delicate pink corded silk throughout, adding an extra touch of elegance to its overall design. The bodice center section features a pleated grey silk frill that is beautifully adorned with crem lace, crossing over and fastening on the left front. A high standing collar adds a regal touch to the piece while being stiffened for added structure. The hem of this masterpiece is bound with a pink silk bias strip, creating a visually pleasing contrast against the rest of the garment. Shaped and stiffened epaulettes further enhance its sophisticated silhouette. A separate skirt opening at the center back allows for ease of movement while maintaining its impeccable style. The waistband is trimmed and gathered into bows on either side of the opening, with loose ends cascading down gracefully along the back. Adding an element of whimsy are three grey chiffon roses spaced down the right side seam, providing a subtle yet enchanting detail to this already breathtaking creation. Printed on its waistband is Mme Darsonval's label: "Mme. Darsonval, Robes & Manteaux, 17 Rue Chanez, Paris" serving as both a testament to her artistry and as historical documentation. This photograph captures not only fashion history but also serves as an inspiration for contemporary designers seeking timeless beauty combined with meticulous craftsmanship.
