EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Silver Tissue Dress" from the 1660s, a true masterpiece of fashion history. Crafted with silver woven silk and adorned with delicate metal thread, this dress is further enhanced by intricate parchment lace decorations. The English School of the 17th century left an indelible mark on fashion, as evidenced by this stunning creation. Displayed at the Fashion Museum Bath, this remarkable garment has been lent to the museum by the esteemed Vaughan Family Trust. Its presence evokes a sense of grandeur and elegance that defined early 17th-century England. The dress represents a time when women embraced their femininity through fashion choices that exuded grace and sophistication. The photograph captures every detail of this extraordinary piece, allowing viewers to appreciate its craftsmanship up close. The shimmering silver fabric catches light in such a way that it seems to come alive before our eyes. It serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of those who created it centuries ago. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this dress symbolizes an era marked by opulence and refinement. It transports us back in time to an age where clothing was not just functional but also served as a form of self-expression. Peter Stone's expert photography beautifully immortalizes this iconic artifact from seventeenth-century England's sartorial legacy for all admirers of fine art and historical fashion alike.
