EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, taken from the August 1858 issue of the Illustrated London News, showcases two exquisite fashion designs of the era: a Promenade or Carriage Costume and a Ball Dress. The Promenade Costume, depicted on the left, is made of rich azure-green silk and features a double skirt design. The upper skirt is adorned with a broad green and white fringe, edged with green silk passementerie and black velvet. The high corsage is fastened in front with malachite and gold buttons. The bonnet, trimmed with bouquets of verbena and broad blades of grass, complements the outfit, as does the square shawl of organdy muslin. The white gauze robe with nine narrow flounces and a tunic adds an air of elegance and sophistication. The Ball Dress, on the right, is a vision in white gauze, with a low corsage finished at the top with a ruche of tulle. The fichu Antoinette, formed of two frills of gauze, completes the look. The model's hair is styled in double rouleaux at the sides and loose bows or loops at the back, with bouquets of lilac gladiolus and heath adorning her coiffure. These intricately detailed designs offer a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of fashion during the mid-19th century.
