Vestido feito na década de 1860 pela Casa Worth, uma das maiores grifes do século XIX. Confeccionada em tafetá marfim sob camadas de tule, a peça segue a moda vigente no Segundo Império francês, com a crinolina dando volume às sais e o corpete ajustado à cintura. As mangas são em estilo balão e oferecem um generoso vislumbre do decote ombro a ombro. Possivelmente, o traje pertenceu a Eugénia de Montijo, esposa de Napoleão III. Alguns sites, porém, classificam-no como um vestido de noiva. Sabe-se, por outro lado, que a terceira imperatriz dos Franceses era uma cliente fiel da marca fundada pelo inglês Charles Frederick Worth, considerado o pai da alta costura. A Casa Worth tinha entre suas freguesas mais ilustres, além de Eugénia, a imperatriz Elisabeth "Sissi" da Áustria e Alexandra da Dinamarca, princesa de Gales.

House of Worth | c. 1900 ・・・ A superb example of dressmaking from the House of Worth, this dress exhibits the aesthetic of the last years of the nineteenth century. The fashionable reverse S-curve silhouette of the dress and the dramatic scroll pattern of the textile reflect the influence of the Art Nouveau movement. The striking graphic juxtaposition of the black velvet on an ivory satin ground creates the illusion of ironwork, with curving tendrils emphasizing the fashionable shape of the garment. In order to achieve this effect, the textile was woven à la disposition, with the intent that each piece would become a specific part of the dress. With this technique, the design of the fabric is intrinsic to the design of the dress. ・・・ #houseofworth #charlesfrederickworth #victorian #fashion #artnouveau #beautiful #blackandwhite #vintage @metcostumeinstitute https://www.instagram.com/defunctfashion/p/BwK4JnUAuUu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14ejirodlq29g

Halloween treat! The Peacock Dress made for Princess de Sagan by Charles Frederick Worth, a dress with a story. She hosted a costume ball at Hôtel de Sagan called Bal des Bêtes, the Ball of the Beasts, June 1885 in Paris. Guests were supposed to wear animal costumes. This picture is from the Daguerre auction webpage. This dress made quite the impact, an article I found written in The Domestic Monthly fashion magazine vol.23 states "as for the splendor of the Princess herself as a peacock, it is not possible to convey it in the least by mere description. She was almost too dazzling to be looked at steadily. Over a skirt of peacock green shading to Blue was Venetian lace completely covered with diamonds, pearls, emeralds and rubies, following and defining the pattern of the lace. But the glitter of these Jewels was entirely surpassed by a splendid peacock's tail out spread over the shoulders and back of the waist, and covered with hundreds of the same stones, with the addition of topaz: and against this background the high-dressed hair of the wearer, on which was a peacock's crest entirely in diamonds, stood out in full-relief. The effect was unsurpassed and unsurpassable, and is and long will be the talk of all Paris". Not only was Paris a buzz after seeing the hostess in this gown, news made it across the ocean too. I found an article written in the Atlanta [Georgia] Constitution newspaper in June of 1885 which also described the ball and the peacock dress. I am currently reading, A Century of Fashion by Jean Phillip Worth published in 1928. In the fancy dress chapter Jean Phillip says "we made innumerable costumes for this ball, by the way, many of which I have forgotten". I wish we could see more of the outfits worn to this ball. The descriptions in the book took me down the rabbit hole that is the internet.

House of Worth | c. 1883 ・・・ If I had to pick a favorite gown by the House of Worth it would have to be this. The dual fabric bustle is beyond beautiful. The teenaged socialite, Fannie Farwell, had this exceptional evening gown commissioned by Worth while she went on her grand tour in 1893. She must have been a dazzling 18 year old in this sophisticated, sensual masterpiece.
