EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless elegance of Mme Darsonval, a Parisian woman from the late 19th century. The print showcases her exquisite attire, a stunning ensemble made of wool, silk, and lace. The garment is meticulously crafted with attention to detail. The grey wool and silk poplin fabric drapes gracefully around her waist, while the pink corded silk lining adds a touch of luxury. The bodice features intricate pleated grey silk frills adorned with delicate crem lace, creating an enchanting visual effect. Mme Darsonval's high standing collar adds sophistication to her ensemble and fastens on the left side. The hem is bound with a pink silk bias strip for added refinement. Shaped and stiffened epaulettes enhance the structure of the bodice, while frills and lace embellishments add feminine charm. The separate skirt opens at the center back and is secured by pleats that fasten together discreetly. A white petersham inner waistband provides comfort and support while maintaining style integrity. Three grey chiffon roses elegantly adorn the right side seam. A printed label on the waistband reveals that this exquisite creation was designed by Mme Darsonval herself at 17 Rue Chanez in Paris. This remarkable piece exemplifies both artistry in fashion design as well as historical significance. It now resides within Manchester Art Gallery in the UK where it continues to captivate visitors with its beauty and craftsmanship.
