Vestido de noite

1884–86
Not on view
A anquinha, que passou a ser moda na década de 1870, adquiriu seu volume máximo em 1885. As anquinhas mais extremas estendiam-se em um plano quase horizontal na altura dos rins e eram tão ornamentadas e acolchoadas que pareciam móveis de sala. Havia uma fantasia popular de que essas anquinhas poderiam ser adaptadas à mesa e que poderiam sustentar um conjunto completo de chá. Para suportar o peso da saia, eram colocadas almofadas embaixo dos aros leves e flexíveis de arame, vime ou barbatana de baleia. Os aros eram dobrados quando as mulheres desejavam se sentar.
