1899 Accordian Aigrette Cascades Chiffon Flounces Forms Frilly Mantle Ornamented Passementerie Pleated Ruffle Shaped Slug Toque

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegant beauty of a Frilly Mantle from the late Victorian/early Edwardian era, dating back to 1899. The mantle, also known as a toque or slug, is a luxurious and ornate garment that was popular during this time period. The black mantle is adorned with an intricately designed high fan-shaped collar, which is ornamented with passementerie – a decorative trim made of braided or netted fabric, ribbon, or cord. The collar is not the only eye-catching feature of this mantle. Cascades and flounces of accordian pleated chiffon gracefully form a ruffle down the front, adding an air of grace and femininity to the piece. The chiffon, a light and airy fabric, is a perfect contrast to the heavy velvet or brocade often used in Victorian fashion. The mantle's collar is also adorned with an aigrette, a decorative piece made of feathers, adding an elegant touch to the overall design. The mantle's history is as rich as its appearance. It was a common accessory worn by women during formal events and evening soirees, providing an additional layer of warmth and sophistication. The sea of frills and ruffles in this photograph transport us back in time, allowing us to imagine the grandeur and opulence of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. This Frilly Mantle is a testament to the intricate detail and craftsmanship that went into creating fashionable garments during this time period. With its high collar, cascading ruffles, and ornate passementerie, this mantle is a true work of art that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
