EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of a beautifully crafted dress by R Simpson & Sons, manufactured in Scotland, Glasgow around 1883-1885. Made from silk, cotton, linen, and metal, this exquisite dress showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that were popular during the late 19th century.
The cream corded silk chine fabric is adorned with flowers in red, blue, brown, and yellow hues, creating a visually striking design. The rectangular neckline with red silk satin facing adds a touch of elegance to the overall look. The bodice features red cord lacing over cream machine lace and elbow-length sleeves for added charm.
The full-length skirt includes a chine overskirt to go over a bustle and extends into a train at the back. A petticoat-style underskirt made from cream machine lace completes the ensemble. The label 'R. Simpson and Sons Costumiers Jamaica St. Corner Glasgow' adds authenticity to this remarkable piece.
This dress not only represents the fashion trends of its time but also serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating garments during the Victorian era. It is truly a work of art that deserves to be admired for generations to come.
