EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of a woman's dress from Scotland, most likely manufactured in Glasgow around 1863. Made from wool and cotton, this dress showcases intricate tambour-work embroidery in purple and white thread, creating an abstract pattern that exudes elegance.
The high round neckline and loosely pleated bodice lead to a wide V-shape at the straight waistline, all adorned with tambour-work detailing. The full-length sleeves feature short pointed frills at the shoulder and cuffs also embellished with tambour-work. The skirt flows gracefully with a tambour-work border around the lower half, adding to its charm.
Measuring at 80x90 cm, this dress is not just a garment but a piece of art that tells a story of fashion from the 19th century. The delicate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every stitch, showcasing the skill of the makers from that era.
Displayed in Glasgow Museums, UK as part of their collection (E.1988.110.1), this dress is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Scottish fashion. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and creativity that transcends time, making it truly timeless in its appeal.
