EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures a piece of history in the form of a wedding dress from 1884. Made of silk, cotton, metal, and horsehair, this elegant gown is a true testament to the fashion of the late 19th century. The grey corded silk bodice features a small standing collar and intricate gathered panels that drape over the bust, while full-length sleeves add an air of sophistication.
The matching skirt is pleated onto the waistband and adorned with grey and white striped silk velvet panels for added flair. The asymmetrical design gives this dress a unique and eye-catching appeal that would have surely made any bride feel like royalty on her special day.
Measuring at 60x70 cm, this dress is now part of the Glasgow Museums collection in the UK. Its intricate details and expert craftsmanship are a reminder of the artistry that went into creating garments during this time period.
As we admire this beautiful piece from centuries past, we are reminded of how fashion has evolved yet still retains elements of timeless elegance. This wedding dress serves as both a historical artifact and a work of art that continues to inspire awe and admiration today.
