Afternoon dress, circa 1866



Silk afternoon dress bearing the label "Maison Clément, Delion Lericheux Sr., 8. Place de la Madeleine, Paris", circa 1866.

The main silk fabric of the dress has an interesting gravelly texture.
I especially like the decoration on the back of the bodice; one should always be as charming leaving a room as when entering.
