bridal fashion
This black wedding dress, created in 1885 by W. Wildermann, exemplifies the fashion of the late 19th century. It features a fitted bodice with a high collar and a full skirt, typical of the era's silhouette. The dress's intricate button detailing and the subtle embellishments on the cuffs add a touch of elegance. The choice of black, while unconventional for wedding attire, speaks to the Victorian era's penchant for mourning and its influence on fashion. This garment is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the period and serves as a window into the social and cultural norms of the time.
Comments
After 1820 most wedding dresses were white, and so this black example is unusual. The bride had her dress made by Wilhelmine Wildermann, a seamstress who owned a shop in one of the well-known main streets of Karlsruhe (Baden-Württemberg). The cut of wedding dresses in this German federal state was always in keeping with fashion. The colour, however, was generally black as women traditionally wore black dresses to church.
