This two piece evening gown was made by the Maison Clergeat between 1898 and 1900. Stylistically, it has moved past most of the exaggerations of proportion of the 1890s and, rather, evokes the characteristic S-shape silhouette of the following half-decade. Sadly, I've been unable to find anything at all about Maison Clergeat, the creator of this lovely garment.
