Turn of the Century (1900) Dresses.
This summer, a Friend and I went to an exhibit at the WBR Museum in Port Allen, Louisiana.
They are always having interesting exhibits.
Belle Epoque means "Beautiful Era" in French.
This time period dated from 1871 to the beginning of WWI in 1914
The exhibit featured clothing and other items of Aurelie Levert from her Grand Tour during the Paris Exposition circa 1900.
This was my favorite garment in her collection because it is embellished with White work embroidery.
I am sure the high neck would encourage anyone to have good posture.
I think the stately bearing we associate ladies of that time period with is due in good measure to the garments they wore. They were very restrictive compared to our own.
This sleeve is beautifully embellished.
Open eyelets and Satin Embroidery.
This is part of the skirt.
More on the exhibit….next post
