19th Century Fashion Glasgow Purple

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 showcases intricate tambour-work embroidery in purple and white thread, creating an abstract pattern that adds to its charm. The high round neckline and loosely pleated bodice lead down to a wide V-shape at the straight waistline, all adorned with delicate tambour-work detailing. The full-length sleeves feature short pointed frills at the shoulders and cuffs, also embellished with tambour-work. The skirt flows elegantly with a tambour-work border around the lower half, adding to the overall grace of the garment. Measuring at 80x90 cm, this dress is not just a piece of clothing but a work of art that reflects the fashion trends of the 19th century. With precise measurements provided for each part of the dress - bust, waist, length - it is clear that great care was taken in its construction. This print allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also offers a glimpse into women's fashion history in Scotland during this time period. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can be more than just fabric; it can tell stories and preserve memories for generations to come.
