EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of a beautiful 19th-century Scottish dress. The dress, originating from Lanarkshire, East Kilbride, was likely worn at Wester Kittochside Farm between 1846-1849. Made of silk, cotton, wood, and metal, this garment showcases intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The green and pink silk fabric is adorned with a delicate pattern of small roses and flowers, exuding elegance and femininity. The bodice features a high round collar and pleated V-shape design with twelve toggles down the center front. The three-quarter length sleeves are embellished with black braid, lace, and glass beads for added flair.
This dress is not just a piece of clothing; it tells a story of the women who wore it - possibly Lilias Reid or her sister Elizabeth Reid. It reflects the fashion trends of the time while also serving as a reminder of the wearer's personal style and taste.
Displayed in Glasgow Museums in the UK, this dress is more than just an object - it represents tradition, culture, and heritage. It serves as a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating such exquisite garments during that era.
