| Day dress, c.1853-1856, in The Met. |
It's a beautiful fanfront, but what I really love is how the narrow fringe trim delineates the flounces and bodice details which otherwise disappear into the print. Also, the very mid-fifties flounced sleeves. Note the fiber content is 'wool, silk' (probably a wool fabric with silk trim), and the fall of the fabric suggests a very light-weight material.
