Museum Visit

after design by Morin (mentioned on object), 1896

In the 1890s, trends in ladies’ fashion focused particularly on the cut of sleeves. Still puffed up like balloons in the 1895-1896 season, by 1898 sleeves were closefitting once more. Entirely new was the toilette tailleur – a skirt with a matching jacket, such as in the chequered ensemble here – which was perfectly suited for travel. The ladies’ suit was thus born.
