EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning French tailored-made gown from 1895 showcases the elegant and sophisticated fashion trends of the late Victorian era. The dress, with its leg-of-mutton sleeves and narrow waist, is a prime example of the hourglass silhouette that was popular during this time. The puffed sleeves, also known as gigot sleeves, add volume and texture to the upper body, while the fitted bodice and narrow waist accentuate the waistline and create an illusion of an hourglass figure. The dress is made from a rich and luxurious fabric, possibly silk or velvet, which adds to its opulence and elegance. The jacket, also tailored to fit perfectly, is a matching piece that can be worn over the dress for an added layer of warmth or to cover the shoulders when necessary. The jacket features the same puffed sleeves as the dress, creating a cohesive look. The leg-of-mutton sleeves, also known as bell sleeves, were a popular trend during the 1890s. They were named for their resemblance to the shape of a leg of mutton, and they added a playful and feminine touch to the otherwise formal and structured gowns of the era. The narrow waist, on the other hand, was a symbol of femininity and grace, and it was achieved through the use of corsets and other waist-cinching garments. This French tailored-made gown is a beautiful representation of the fashion trends of the late Victorian era, and it continues to inspire fashion designers and enthusiasts to this day. Its timeless elegance and sophistication make it a true classic in the world of fashion history.
