The front full length view of a long sleeved 1840s dress in deep pink silk. It has a skirt pleated into the waistband and some gathered pleats along the sleeve but is otherwise plain
A similar view of the deep pink silk 1840s gown but this time worn with a matching plain shoulder cape
A partial view of the pink 1840s pink silk gown which shows the detail of the pleating at the skirt and the inverted pleating running along the outside of the upper arm
I like the strict unfussiness of this #1840s rose pink silk gown. It lets the construction do all of the talking, drawing the eye to the sharp pleats, the neat seams and regimented folds. And the matching cape! @mdhistory.bsky.social #FashionHistory ๐๏ธ๐ชก
