| Spain, 1780's (?) |
I came across this frothy sea foam number this morning and thought it was just like candy! I usually focus so much on English and French fashion, I rarely come across things from other countries. The above gown is from Spain. Eighteenth century spanish ladies do love their lace!

That top dress looks like wintergreen candy; refreshing and tasty!

ReplyDeleteI know! So cute!
ReplyDeleteWow, what collection is that Spanish dress from?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I haven't been able to find what collection yet. I came cross the dress and thought it was too pretty not to share. I am taking, in good faith, that the dress is 1780's, as it was listed on the website, at http://yeoldefashion.tumblr.com/post/634552444/a-lovely-pale-green-dress-from-the-1780s-it-was. I didn't initially give credit to the website, since they didn't take the picture, or house the dress, etc.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone knows where it is housed I woul love to know. In theban time, I will continue to search any collections in Spain.
I meant, "in the mean time". Oops.
ReplyDeleteI believe the lovely Spanish dress is currently in the Museo del Traje collection in Madrid! Here's a link to online collection database: http://ceres.mcu.es/pages/Main
ReplyDeleteType in "CE000592" to specifically view this dress! Their whole collection looks magnificent and I'd love to visit the museum someday. Hope this helps! :)
Oh cool! Thanks so much for the link!
