EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of a beautiful Scottish dress from Lanarkshire, East Kilbride, dating back to around 1866-1867. Made from silk and cotton, this dress is a true work of art with intricate hand-stitching and machine-stitching.
The bright blue corded silk fabric is complemented by silk satin accents, creating a luxurious look fit for a special occasion. The dress features a round neckline that can be transformed into a square-cut decolletage by folding back the centre front panels, adorned with delicate frills and buttons for fastening.
The full-length sleeves boast wide bell-shaped cuffs, adding an elegant touch to the ensemble. The skirt is constructed with gored panels and cartridge pleats at the back, providing volume that gracefully flows over a cage-crinoline underskirt. A slight train adds drama to the silhouette.
This dress was worn by a member of the Reid family and was paired with a matching peplum belt and coordinating petticoat for added flair. It truly embodies the fashion trends of its time while showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. A true masterpiece preserved in history at Glasgow Museums in the UK.
