A rope trimming is anchored into the hem of this evening dress so that it falls in graceful folds to the floor. It provides a striking contrast to the main textile of the dress, a delicate silk gauze woven with horizontal tufts of coloured threads. The dress is constructed with the typical high waist of the early nineteenth-century 'Empire line'. Fashions of Ancient Greece and Rome remained a strong influence into the first decades of the century, and white continued to be the most popular colour for evening wear. This dress would probably have been worn over a white silk slip - the silk underdress in the photograph is a replica. As the nineteenth century progressed, dressmakers increasingly used trimmings and decorative textiles to add novelty and interest to their creations.
