Evening dress 1898

This elegant evening dress, created by the House of Worth in 1898, embodies the fashion trends of the late 19th century. The dress features a cream-colored silk fabric with a delicate pattern of cherry blossoms and red berries. The fitted bodice highlights the narrow waist, a defining characteristic of the era, while the flowing skirt creates a sense of movement. The dress is a testament to the House of Worth's renowned craftsmanship and the enduring appeal of feminine silhouettes. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the refined world of high fashion during the Belle Époque.
