EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century photograph captures the elegance and sophistication of a French woman's 2-piece silk bustle dress from around 1885. The dress, made of silk plain weave taffeta and silk plain weave with warp float patterning and supplementary weft, features a rich purple hue that adds an air of mystery and allure. The dress is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating high-end fashion during this era. The dress consists of a fitted bodice with a low neckline and long sleeves, cinched at the waist with a sash, and a full, voluminous skirt with a prominent bustle at the back. The woman wears a matching bonnet adorned with silk knotted tassels, completing the look of this elegant and timeless ensemble. The 1880s were a period of great innovation and experimentation in fashion, with women's clothing becoming more ornate and elaborate. The bustle dress, with its distinctive backside silhouette, was a popular choice for formal occasions and social events. This photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion heritage of Europe during this era, providing a window into the past and the rich textile traditions that continue to inspire and influence contemporary fashion. The identity of the woman in the photograph remains a mystery, but her elegant attire and confident pose speak volumes about the social status and wealth of the individual who owned this beautiful garment. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the history of fashion, and the role it plays in shaping our cultural heritage.
