Afternoon dress 1901 - 1905

"Afternoon Dress" is a garment created by the design duo Chezar & Pillman sometime between 1901 and 1905. This stylish ensemble, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies the fashion trends of the early 20th century. The dress is composed of a rich green velvet fabric, cut in a form-fitting silhouette with a full skirt, adorned with elaborate embroidery and a decorative, high-necked bodice. The dress's intricate details and high-quality materials speak to the craftsmanship and sartorial refinement of the era.
