Dressing jacket

American

Not on view

Featured, is an excellent example of a dressing jacket from the period of the late 1880s to the mid-1890s. The combination of the ribbon and lace add an elaborate touch which is very typical of fashions from this time. Prior to this, lingerie and dressing wear was much simpler, but beginning in the 1880s the idea of luxury in fabrics and decoration became popular.
