Dinner dress 1872 - 1882

This "Dinner dress" from the House of Worth, a renowned Parisian fashion house founded in 1858, exemplifies the elegance and opulence of late 19th-century fashion. The dress, crafted between 1872 and 1882, showcases intricate details like a brocaded silk fabric with a prominent oak leaf design, and a trailing train adorned with a tassel trim. The silhouette, with its fitted bodice and voluminous skirt, is a testament to the evolving fashion trends of the era. Today, this garment resides in the esteemed collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
