This elegant evening dress embodies the splendor and luxury of the Belle Epoque, a time when fashion was an expression of status and taste. The meticulous craftsmanship and high-quality materials testify to the sophistication and sense of style of the wearer at the time. The hand-embroidered embellishment on the silk tulle is particularly impressive, giving the dress a delicate yet opulent touch. The satin appliqués and bows emphasize the elegance and glamour of the outfit, while the wide belt perfectly accentuates the waistline. The dress was made in the renowned fashion house Abraham and Straus in Brooklyn and Paris, which underlines its high quality and exclusivity. The label's inscription, which bears the wearer's name and the date of purchase (the year is 1904), gives the dress a personal touch and hints at the story it could tell. It is a true masterpiece of the fashion art of the era, reflecting the spirit and beauty of the Belle Epoque in every seam and detail. Despite its age, the dress is in remarkably good condition, which is indicative of its careful storage and care. The small stains, tears and signs of wear testify to its authenticity and the many occasions on which it was worn. It is a testimony to times gone by and a fascinating piece of fashion history that can be admired in the Valentine Museum.
