A printed wool Challis day dress printed with roses - England Circa 1840-1845
About the Item
Circa 1840-1845
England
Beautiful British bourgeoisie day dress, in blue wool Challis shaded with stripes and printed with a stream of roses. It dates from the early Victorian era in England. The bust is curved and pointed, with a wide Berthe collar and angled sleeves with ruffles at the elbows adorned with a rosette.
This round skirt with a large bottom is cleverly fitted with organ pleats at the waist and was designed for a small crinoline cage. The sewing finishes are meticulous, with piping on the seams and grey silk trimmings and fringes highlighting the collar and sleeves. The skirt is fully lined in indigo chintz. The back is fastened with hooks (probably changed later) and the bustier is lined in glazed ecru linen with two internal stays highlighting the bust. This type of shaded printing challis was a technological feat for the period, first mastered in England (Manchester) and then in Alsace. It used the first chemical dyes to achieve colour saturation. No defects. Good condition in terms of colour and conservation. Wearable or collectible.
Size: Equivalent to size 36-37 in France. Height 133 cm, shoulders 38 cm, chest 88 cm, waist 71 cm, sleeves 66 cm, skirt 300 cm.
