Visiting dress

Silk taffeta, lace | Circa 1880

In the 1870-1880s bustles came into fashion. Those were pillows, wire or wicker frames, worn under the skirt at the back below the waist, and used to expand fullness and shape silhouette. For this purpose, frills, draperies, and pleats were also used.

The dresses were decorated with embroidery and lace. Made of taffeta, they were adorned with bows and silk ribbons. Under the dress, corset with lacing was worn. This is an exquisite and perfectly preserved visiting dress, which symbolizes the wealth and prosperity of its era.

It's the festive season, and so I'm highlighting some gowns that embody holiday spirit in color, shape, and form.

Starting with this ball gown from the late 1870s. Though the Met Museum has absolutely zero text to describe it, they did include a picture of the tag, which lets us know exactly who wore this gown: Princess, later Queen, Alexandra. The tag reads "by special appointment - Dressmaker - to H.R.H. The Princess of Wales - ELISE - 170 Regent St London."

So, we know this taffeta confection was made specifically for then Princess Alexandra by a woman Madame Elise, a fashion house run by Elizabeth Marie Louise Jaeger. Madame Elise was actually quite well-known, and not always for good reasons. In the 1860s, the lace warehouse came under fire when a young woman in her employ died of apoplexy (what we now call a stroke) due to working conditions. This, thankfully, led to demands for more oversight in dressmaking houses.

This gown, however, is peak First Bustle Era, and is rather jolly. The playful asymmetry is a lovely departure from the relative balance of previous decades, and the train is a thing of beauty. Black and red are a personal favorite. The flowers almost look like poinsettias.
