EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite evening dress, dating back to 1889, showcases the elegant fashion trends of the Victorian era. The dress, worn by Lady Ridgeway, features a decorative front lacing that adds a touch of sophistication and intrigue. The pointed bodice, with its narrow and elongated shape, accentuates the wearer's figure, while the V-neckline with a falling tucker creates an air of mystery and allure. The small, up-gathered sleeves are adorned with marabou epaulettes, adding a playful and flirtatious touch to the otherwise formal attire. The use of marabou feathers, derived from the ostrich, was a popular choice for Victorian evening wear, adding a sense of luxury and extravagance. The feather fan, held in Lady Ridgeway's hand, further emphasizes the fashionable trend of using feathers as a decorative element. The Victorian era was known for its elaborate and ornate fashion, and this evening dress is a prime example of the opulence and refinement of the time. The intricate details, from the lacing to the epaulettes, demonstrate the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating such beautiful garments. This stunning dress, with its timeless beauty and elegant design, transports us back to a bygone era of elegance and sophistication. It serves as a reminder of the rich fashion history that continues to inspire and influence modern-day fashion trends.
