Russian court ensemble, c.1900....I could look at fashion from by-gone eras for hours on end...
The Worth gown Alice Vanderbilt wore to Alva Vanderbilt's costume ball in 1883. She was costumed as the 'Electric Light' and carried an electric torch above her head.
Queen Maud bought her clothes from a variety of fashion designers, court dressmakers and ladies tailors. One of the famous names in her wardrobe is the couturier, Worth. The company was founded in Paris in 1858 by Charles Frederick Worth , the most important and influential designer of the 19th century. His sons and grandsons carried on the Worth name until the company was taken over in 1954. This is the earliest surviving dress Worth made for Queen Maud, matching a photograph of its 1912-1913..
