The "Belle Époque" period of the late 1800's was indeed BELLE! Often referred to as the Gay 90's, fashion of the period reflected the buoyant mood of time. The turn of a century was on the horizon. The Chicago Worlds Fair was in full swing. And the country was in high spirits.
Frocks of Ages introduces this striking four piece ensemble to celebrate this wonderful period of fashion.
This 1894's Walking Suit is made of black silk dupioni in the bodice and black and copper striped dupioni in the skirt and in the bodice trim.
The ball gown bodice is low cut in front to complement the lady's feminine attributes and festooned in flowers, bows, and dotted tulle. The sleeves are see-through puffs of dotted tulle.
The hat is a re-defined vintage straw hat. It is decorated with black tulle, flowers and bow that match the dress.
Bodice bust 38" (this applies to both bodices)
Bodice waist 30" for both bodices.
Skirt waist is 30"
Skirt front is 42" and back is 43"
