Ensemble de mariage

1864
Not on view
Pendant une grande partie du XIXe siècle, le corsage aux épaules tombantes règne en maître. Il dessine entre le cou et les épaules un triangle qui allonge la nuque, conformément à un idéal de beauté auquel souscrivent bien entendu les robes de soirée des années 1860, souvent dotées d’une encolure bateau qui dégage les épaules. Il a fallu par conséquent éliminer les bretelles des corsets ou à tout le moins les abaisser vers l’extérieur. La crinoline baleinée, inventée dix ans plus tôt, a permis de donner à l’ample jupe la forme d’une cloche. À partir du milieu des années 1860, les cerceaux, de plus en plus grands, peuvent soutenir des jupes de la plus extrême ampleur.
