Step into the opulent world of Parisian fashion, circa November 1865. This exquisite print showcases three stunning ensembles that embody the elegance and sophistication of haute couture during this era.
The first look features a "Gabrielle" morning dress in rich violet silk, adorned with intricate trimmings at the back of the bodice and shoulders. The subtle introduction of jet buttons adds a touch of understated glamour to this becoming costume. Next, we find ourselves transported to an afternoon soiree with the "Toilette de Visite," a stylish ensemble featuring a jacket and skirt in vert-pomme silk, complete with a chic black velvet bonnet adorned with gold pendants and spotted lace veil.
Finally, winter's chill is kept at bay by the third look: a stunning dress in "havanne" hue, paired with an elegant cloak trimmed with passementerie. The crowning glory of this outfit is undoubtedly the exquisite black velvet bonnet, styled as the "Empire," adorned with white feathers and ribbons.
This print from 1865's Illustrated London News offers a glimpse into the world of Parisian fashion during a time when elegance, refinement, and creativity reigned supreme. The attention to detail in each outfit is truly remarkable, showcasing the mastery of French couturiers at their finest.
