Dress
Not on view
This girl's dress is a very good example of the change in style that began in 1837, the year that Queen Victoria became queen. The exaggerated gigot sleeve collapsed in that year, and the sleeve became tight on the upper arm, gradually losing its fullness over the next several years. This dress shows that transition well and is exemplary of dresses worn by a young teenage girl of the highest style of the period.
