EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the elegance and grace of Alexandra Princess of Wales, wearing a Polonaise dress by Madame Elise in 1873. The silk satin fabric drapes beautifully around her figure, showcasing the intricate details and craftsmanship of the garment.
Alexandra of Denmark, who later became Queen of the United Kingdom from 1901-1910 as consort of Edward VII, exudes sophistication and regality in this attire. Her posture is poised and dignified, reflecting her royal status with every inch.
The Polonaise style was a popular fashion choice during the 19th century, characterized by its draped overskirt that creates a graceful silhouette. The tartan pattern on the dress adds a touch of flair and personality to an otherwise classic design.
This photograph not only captures Alexandra's impeccable sense of style but also serves as a window into the fashion trends of the late nineteenth century. It is a timeless piece that showcases both historical significance and sartorial excellence.
Displayed at the Fashion Museum Bath in both the 1870s and 1980s, this Polonaise dress continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and charm. It stands as a testament to Alexandra's enduring influence on fashion during her time as royalty.
