Wedding dress 1875

This 1875 "Wedding dress" by Mrs. J. Pentland is a prime example of late 19th century fashion. The dress is crafted from a light-colored silk, likely intended to reflect the light and draw attention to the wearer. The dress's bodice is fitted and features a high neckline, with the skirt adorned with three rows of fringe along the hemline. The dress's design is characteristic of the era, with a focus on elegance and formality, typical for important occasions like weddings. It's now preserved at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
