EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of a beautiful woman's dress from Scotland, most likely manufactured in Glasgow around 1863. Made from wool and cotton, this dress features intricate tambour-work embroidery in purple and white thread, creating an abstract pattern that adds to its charm.
The high round neckline and pleated bodice lead to a wide V-shape at the straight waistline, while the full-length sleeves are adorned with short pointed frills at the shoulders and cuffs. The skirt flows elegantly with tambour-work borders around the lower half, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship.
Measuring 80x90 cm, this dress is now part of the Glasgow Museums collection in the UK. Its bust measures 860 mm, waist 630 mm, and waist to hem lengths range from 1070 mm at the front to 1200 mm at the back.
This photograph not only captures a moment in fashion history but also serves as a reminder of the skill and artistry that went into creating such garments during the 19th century. It is a testament to both Scottish craftsmanship and timeless elegance.
