Dress, ca. 1830
This is a Dress.
This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Museum of the City of New York as part of Paisley.
In the early 19th century, European women abandoned their cloaks, choosing to stay warm and covered under shawls. The fashion press described women as “draped” as they wound shawls over their shoulders, circling their arms, or tied around their waist.
It is credited Courtesy of Museum of the City of New York, Gift of Mrs. Eliot Norton, 1929.
Its dimensions are
28 ribcage x 30-3/4 bust x 89 circumference at hem in.
This object was previously on display as a part of the exhibition Paisley.
