Robe du soir

1884–86
Not on view
La tournure, apparue dans les années 1870, atteint sa taille maximale vers 1885. Dans sa version extrême, elle s’étend pratiquement à l’horizontale depuis le creux des reins et semble aussi rembourrée et lourdement ornée que les poufs qui décorent les salons de l’époque. Les plaisantins l’assimilent à une console où l’on pourrait poser un service à thé. Pour soutenir le poids de la jupe, on double de coussinets des cerceaux légers et flexibles, faits d’un fil métallique, de jonc ou de fanon de baleine. Pour s’asseoir, les dames doivent aplatir l’ensemble.
