LP6: Fabric in Fashion Exhibition at the Museum @ FIT

Silk organza overdress, circa 1825, USA (possibly), gift of Titi Halle. 2007.41.1

Organdy dress with silk satin trim, circa 1830, England, museum purchase. P73.1.3

The similarities between these two dresses are that the design is both tight on waist and flair on sleeves and skirt. The materials that they used are also similar since they both use silk and cotton. As a conclusion, the design for these two dresses is both like mid-century princess dresses.
