EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail of a fashion doll's dress from the 1760s. Made of silk, this miniature garment was created by a skilled mantua maker as an example of their exquisite craftsmanship. The Fashion Museum Bath proudly displays this delicate piece, offering us a glimpse into the intricate workmanship and style of the 18th century. The dress features an array of beautiful floral motifs, meticulously embroidered with needlelace and adorned with roses. The patterned fabric is made even more enchanting with its delicate lace trimmings and brocade details. Every stitch tells a story of elegance and sophistication. As we admire this remarkable creation, we are reminded not only of the artistry involved in fashion design but also its connection to natural history and botany. The use of flowers as decorative elements reflects both the beauty found in nature and society's fascination with botanical studies during that era. Through this photo print, we can appreciate not only the skillful techniques employed in creating such garments but also how they reflect the cultural values and aesthetic preferences of Georgian society. It serves as a testament to the timeless allure of fashion as an art form. Acquired through generous support from The Art Fund and V&A/, this image captured by Bridgeman Images invites us to marvel at the intricate details that make up this extraordinary piece from our sartorial past.
