About MeA fabulous evening dress, perfect for festive parties. It is typical of the style worn near the end of the 19th century, with the very fitted 14-boned bodice, puffed sleeves and the flat fronted skirt with train at the back. The silk for the dress was imported from Paris and made up by James Saint & Co. for Grace Whyte (nee Scott 1860 - 1945). 
1870 - 1875
1881 - 1884
