How about a wrapped gown? I mean, truly, this looks like a Christmas present.
This gown was made by fashion house and official royal dressmaker, Madame Elise and is likely one of Princess Alexandra's. It dates from around 1870, and you can see that it still has the hallmarks of the 1860s--especially that bodice--but is a bit less full. The bell-shape, tiered look has a lot going on! The dress was lost, but rediscovered in the 20th century in a shop in London.
Madame Elise was a powerhouse in London during this 1860s-1880s, but her warehouse compound was certainly not the best place to live and work. Dressmakers were expected to work long hours (6am-11pm) and were put in cramped quarters with very little ventilation.
One of the workers wrote: “At night we retire to rest in a room divided into little cells, each just large enough to contain two beds. There are two of us in each bed. There is no ventilation; I could scarcely breathe in them when I first came from the country. The doctor who came this morning said they were not fit for dogs to sleep in.”
From Fashion Museum Bath.
