Vestido de noche

1884–86
Not on view
El polisón, que se puso de moda en la década de 1870, había adquirido su máximo volumen en 1885. Los polisones más exagerados se extendían en un plano casi horizontal a la altura de los riñones y estaban tan guateados y adornados que parecían muebles de salón. Los bromistas los asimilaban a mesas donde se podía colocar un servicio completo para el té. Para soportar el peso de la falda, se ponían almohadillas bajo aros ligeros y flexibles de alambre, mimbre o barba de ballena. Los aros se plegaban cuando las mujeres querían sentarse.
