A lovely ensemble for carriage riding...




Ensemble

House of Worth, 1894

This extraordinary costume would have been worn while riding in one’s carriage, which at the time was a social event. It is likely the muff and mantle were bought from the House of Worth but due to the difference in stitching and trimming on the dress, the likelihood is that the client bought extra textile lengths and had the dress made in the United States after returning home.
