Dress
1805-1810
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
This beautiful evening dress is a great example of the delicate sheer fabrics that were favored during the era. It also shows how simplicity could also be extravagant, heavily embroidered with thread made from hammered silver wire that would have glittered in a candle-lit ballroom. The romantic love of the natural is represented through the wheat, a symbol of fertility and abundance, and a love of the exotic is shown through the peacock feathers.
