5 amazing historic clothes
Many of these clothes are still preserved in museums and considered themselves as real works of art.
It has been said so much, over the years, on how the costumes of the films and the costumees have tried to recreate historical clothes. And yet, in most cases, it didn't matter, in those days, how beautiful it was and comfortable the dress and in fact, if you go deeper, you realize how much everything is not historically accurate. So instead of talking about movie clothes, we thought of offering you some of the most incredible historical clothes, made for wealthy and worn people for special occasions. Many of these are still preserved in museums and considered real works of art.
1. The peacock dress
This dress was made for Mary Curzon, Baroness of Kedleston, to wear it at the celebration of King Edoardo VII and Queen Alessandra. It was designed by Jean-Philippe Worth for the Curzon Baroness in person. The dress is in chiffon fabric embellished with gold and silver threads, real metal, not colored.
Subsequently, he was sent to Paris, France, where he was adapted in a two-piece dress, composed of a body and a skirt. A long trawl that ended in Chiffon roses was also added to Paris. Later, the dress was postponed to India. The final result to say the least incredible. The gold and silver threads were hand sewn with a reason similar to that of peacock feathers, while those green eyes that seem like buds were actually made with beetle wings. Today, this dress is stored in a museum, in a glass case to keep temperature and moisture under control, in order to prevent ruins. In fact, the metal thread in the dress, not only makes it heavy (4.5 kg) but also very susceptible to damage.
2. The dress of Sissi
This beautiful dress was created for the empress Elizabeth of Austria, nicknamed Sissi. He made Charles Frederick Worth. If you observe carefully, you will notice that it seems incredibly similar, we would say almost identical, to that worn by Emmy Rossum in the ghost of the work. This dress can be admired in a Vienna museum. They also own an entire collection on the Corfu Couture of Sissi, as well as the empress had a building in Corfu, Greek island, and loved to dress with spectacular clothes.
3. The chemise of Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette was such a fashionist who, whatever she believed in fashion, she had the power to launch or interrupt a trend. She influenced the fashion industry not only in France but throughout Europe. Many of her beautiful and intricate her dresses with wide and long skirts have been immortalized in her paintings but it's the simple cotton dress of her that has become known as "Chemise de la Reine". It does so a sensation not only because it is as if it were an intimate garment of the time but also because it was made of cotton. All this has contributed to a long series of events and the slavery boom to produce more cotton for new fashionable clothes.
4. The coronation dress of Maria Alexandrovna
Maria Aleksandrovna a.k.a. Maria d'Assia was the wife of the Russian Emperor Alessandro II. This dress was created in St. Petersburg specifically for her coronation. Maria was 32 years at the time of the event and was married to Alessandro II already from the age of 16. The dress was inspired by the stylish clothes of the time in Europe, with the addition of some Russian elements for the occasion. It is decorated with silver embroidery and is preserved at the Kremlin for years, as a work of art. Not only is it so impressive to have been stored in a museum but has also inspired the curtains of the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg, which actually took the name of the empress.
5. The coronation dress of Queen Elisabetta II
The Queen Elisabetta II is a very elegant lady, you can see yourself when she wears her clothes coordinated for all special occasions and ceremonies that she attends. She's dress for her coronation is definitely one of the most impressive clothes you've ever worn. It was designed by Norman Hartnell and it took 8 months of hard work to realize it, lots of reflection and a lot of effort. The queen wanted her dress to be satin, just like her wedding dress. We also find embroideries that remind all the United Kingdom countries and Commonwealth nations. There are the English rose, Irish clover, the Scottish thistle, the Welsh leek, the maple leaf for Canada, the bargiglio for Australia and so on. The queen has worn him sometimes even after coronation, for the opening of Parliaments in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Ceylon.
