Wedding ensemble 1887

This grey wool dress from 1887 by Herman Rossberg embodies the fashion of the late Victorian era. The fitted bodice with a high collar and the voluminous skirt, cinched at the waist, are typical of the period. The intricate embroidery, visible on the sleeves and down the skirt, adds a touch of elegance and showcases the craftsmanship of the time. This ensemble, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the sartorial choices of women in the late 19th century.
