Click to see the detail on the pattern of the blue dress ~ it's is amazing! This is from Review de la Mode from 1880 and the colors are wonderfully preserved!
As much as I am itching to get out of the 1850s in my own work, I have to be patient. But it's exciting to see all the beautiful styles to look forward to. The late 1970s and early 1880s remain my favorite period in fashion; dresses were flattering without the craziness of the enormous bustle-to-come. Lovely wedding gown too, I should add.
This plate comes from the Los Angeles Public Library collection.
