Promenade dress
Designer Mme. Blanchard French
Not on view
Like the late-eighteenth-century promenade dresses à la polonaise, which hovered at the ankle and ballooned at sides and back, the style of the 1880s was to create volumes of form around the body while freeing the ankle and foot. The 1880s style was influenced by the new sports clothing of the time, especially walking and croquet dresses.
