Step into the elegance of Parisian fashion in May, 1864 with this stunning print. The unknown creator has captured three exquisite outfits that epitomize the style and sophistication of the era.
The first figure showcases a wedding party dress, featuring a Mazarine blue moire antique robe adorned with black velvet lozenges and long lace shawl. A white crape bonnet completes the look, topped with feathers and an aigrette. The overall effect is one of understated luxury.
Next, we have an evening gown fit for a young lady. This silver-grey foulard de l'inde robe boasts rich trimmings in blue silk stripes and narrow edging. Cut in the style known as "forme Imperatrice," the dress features striped corsage and sleeve-cuffs that mirror those on the skirt. A small lace collar fastened by a rose-pink cravat adds a touch of whimsy.
Finally, we see a walking dress that exudes confidence and poise. The iron-grey taffety robe boasts four rows of passementerie adorning its fluted skirt. A ceinture-style corsage is trimmed with matching ornaments on the shoulders and cuffs. Completing the look are a white crape bonnet and tulle scarf, adorned with a small feather.
