EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning day dress from the 1840s, made of printed wool fabric. The English School artist skillfully captures the essence of Victorian fashion in this piece, which is now housed at the Fashion Museum Bath. The dress features a cinched waist that accentuates the female figure, while flared sleeves add an elegant touch to its overall silhouette. A full skirt gracefully flows down to create a modest yet fashionable look. The striped pattern on the garment adds depth and visual interest, complemented by delicate floral motifs that adorn its surface. This exquisite attire exemplifies the ornate and decorative nature of Victorian fashions. Its intricate design reflects the era's emphasis on elaborate embellishments and attention to detail. It is worth noting that roller printing, invented at the end of the 18th century, was used to create this beautiful fabric. This mechanized form of printing revolutionized textile production during this period. Gifted by Miss Ingleby to eFashion Museum Bath, this historic day dress serves as a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and evolving fashion trends throughout history. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every nuance in their high-quality photo print, allowing viewers to appreciate not only its stylish allure but also gain insight into past clothing styles and cultural aesthetics.
