Dress
The crescent textile of this glorious gown was made in China in 1888 and then included in this gown by Parisian dressmakers Laboudt & Robina at a later date. The dress itself includes what French dressmaking is famous for: striking color combinations and textures, meticulous sewing and elaborate embroidery.
