"Evening Dress" is an example of the elaborate and fashionable clothing designed by the House of Worth, a renowned French fashion house active from 1858 to 1956. This 19th-century dress, crafted from rich brocade fabric, features a delicate floral pattern and a fitted bodice with a plunging neckline. The flowing skirt, with its intricate layers and lace details, showcases the opulence and artistry of the era's high fashion. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, offers a glimpse into the elegance and refinement of late 19th-century Parisian fashion.
