Dress 1895

This blue velvet dress, created by Laboudt & Robina in 1895, showcases the opulent fashion trends of the late 19th century. The dress features a fitted bodice and a flowing skirt, adorned with a contrasting panel of intricate floral embroidery on the front. The dramatic, puffed sleeves add a touch of extravagance, making this a prime example of women's fashion from the Belle Époque. Today, the dress is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, serving as a window into the sartorial history of the era.
