If you could smell this gown, it would be grape. Roller dyed paisley, this gorgeous print and color remind us that even in the 1850s (an era often portrayed as very brown and plain) vivid colors abounded.

As the petticoats give way to crinolines in the 1860s, you see the gowns starting to flare out from the 1830s-1850s. All that cotton is, alas, also quite flammable.

I particularly love the neckline on this, as well as the three-tiered sleeves. It's a rather conservative dress, yet the silhouette is timeless. And you know me, I'm always overjoyed with a print like this.

From the Litchfield Ledger.

This is an example of a fashionable summer day dress of the late 1850s. Typical of the period are the full ‘pagoda’ sleeves and the bodice gathered from the shoulders into the lower front waist. Tiered skirts were popular in the 1850s. The fabric was printed with a decorative border expressly for use as tiers of a dress. It was known by the French term à disposition’.

1858-1860

UK

Printed cotton, trimmed with whitework embroidery, hand-sewn
