Back view of a long pear green damask evening dress with puffy leg of mutton sleeves and a rose motif woven into the cloth
Front view of the House of Worth mid 1890s evening dress that shows the more complex arrangement of the front of the bodice
A closer detail of the fabric of the pear green damask evening dress which captures the scale of the rose motif woven into the fabric
A detail of the shoulder of the pear green damask evening dress with its fullness gathered into the top
The House of Worth was never afraid of a bold motif in the late c19th. Exuberant florals became their signature, here woven into pear green damask but a blousy, leafy rose climbing the cloth @mfaboston.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Reading grad apps at the moment and yet again astonished at how amazing folks are. Almost everyone is better qualified than I was, impressive and interesting and motivated. I am finding this incredibly difficult.
