Celebrating Spring in Style - Parisian Fashions for April, 1864
EDITORS COMMENTS
As spring arrives in Paris, so too do the latest fashion trends. This exquisite print captures three stunning ensembles that epitomize elegance and refinement. In Figure One, an evening dress shines with dark-blue moire antique fabric trimmed with velvet and black lace. The intricate details on the skirt are a testament to French haute couture's attention to detail.
In contrast, Figure Two presents a youthful charm in its stone-coloured taffeta robe adorned with violet stripes and plaited flounces. A matching postilion corsage adds an air of whimsy, while the coiffure features vibrant violet velvet. This "pretty spring toilet" is completed by delicate muslin undersleeves.
Lastly, Figure Three showcases a walking dress in light-brown moire antique fabric trimmed with diamond-shaped passementerie ornaments and long fringe. A blue crape bonnet adds a touch of sophistication, while the two smaller bonnets on either side feature white silk, green velvet, and feathers - each one unique yet harmonious.
This print from 1864's "Illustrated London News" offers a glimpse into Parisian fashion during its golden age. The intricate details and exquisite fabrics showcased in these three ensembles demonstrate the city's reputation for style and elegance.
