In 1844 when Ann's daughter Mary married William Pitt Faithfull, the dress went with the Deane family to Springfield station in New South Wales. The will reveals her wishes:Īlas I have but little to give yet I hereby give devise and bequeath unto my daughter Ann Deane all and every thing I may die possessed of namely my wearing apparel. ![]() The Springfield–Faithfull family collection includes Ann's will. Made from valuable silk, it is likely the dress was an important family heirloom bequeathed to her daughter. While this style allowed women to abandon the corset (known as stays during the 18th century) many continued to wear them to achieve the desired silhouette.ĭress styles changed dramatically throughout the 19th century and Ann's empire-line dress would not have been part of her everyday attire when she arrived in Sydney in 1838. It features the high waist, bib-front and columnar skirt that made empire line dresses less restrictive than many other 19th-century styles. Women began discarding the heavily-corseted and voluminous silk gowns once popular in the Rococo courts of Europe for less restrictive, more free flowing garments.įashion experienced a classical revival and women began to wear clothing that, inspired by the architecture and sculpture of antiquity, favoured flowing, diaphanous fabrics and drapery.Īnn's blue silk dress emphasises the elegance and simplicity popular during the Regency period (about 1795 to 1820). The Napoleonic Wars and hostilities with England ended in 1814 and the Industrial Revolution was in full swing. The Age of Enlightenment and the French Revolution were flourishing, giving rise to ideas of liberation and individualism. Between the late 1700s and the early 1900s momentous social and political change swept through Europe and had a dramatic effect on women's fashion. I recommoned this dress and these comments are just something you should know before purshasing buth other than that if you are finding difficulty with the to part you could wera a shawl scarf. I got it in navy color and it was the perfect shade. It was also really comfortable.(i wore skims undearneath). I live in canada and the shipment was fast it came like the before the due date it said.īut the dress was beautiful and the flow was elegant. The top coudl've had a slightly better stiiching since the strap is really thin(but again no noticed it ,its just me looking at detail), and my perfrence the dress i whish they would have higher top version so the chest isn't so exposed.īut if you wear normally ,it would've been fine, its just my prefernce of less exposed chest. I am muslim so i had difficult with top part too so i had to clip it so my chest isn't so exposed. The dress is also kind of low so if you have bigger chest and dont want any mistakes to happen you can wear a bra or something to cover slightly,just incase it moved around and the strap were too far apart ,it kept falling off like an off the shoulder dress which isn't ideal since the dress wont be held probaly and easily exposed so I had to clip form the back. The only thing is the top seems to have some poor stitching, (but its not like it wall fall off and no one else will notice it). The dress was gorgeous and the wrap around the back string of the back is so beautiful and makes the whole dress with lace in the bottom. More questions about our products, exchanges or returns?
