House of Worth, c. 1893-95. Red silk velvet.

“Severe corsetting falling at the natural waist, a flaring skirt, and the return of gigot sleeves constituted a fin-de-siècle extremism. The engorgement of sleeves and skirt made this extreme constriction seem even more exaggerated in the context of the bulbous shapes surrounding the ideal, hard, narrow waist. The style was maintained well into the twentieth century as a flattering stage effect by actresses such as Sarah Bernhardt. “

You can smell the springtime blooms on this remarkable 1882 gown from the House of Worth. It's got all the pieces of late 19th century fashion I just adore, including those sculptural influences. Doesn't it almost look like the kind of detail you'd see on marble statues.

So, this is silk, silk, and silk. Silk flowers, satin, and some gauzy bits, too. The Met doesn't give us any details other than "silk" but it doesn't take a fashion forensics expert to recognize sheers.

One of my favorite things about the 1870s and 1880s is the playfulness with symmetry. Until this point, the vast majority of Western fashion really focused on symmetry in everything. Which is, of course, very lovely. But alongside the rise of mass industrialization came a shift in composition, a desire to fiddle with the rigid structures and emulate nature and, perhaps, a little chaos, too. Perhaps that's one of the reasons it's so very appealing to me.

There's a whole lot more about Charles Frederick Worth over here if you're interested. He was quite the character.
