afternoon dress

Afternoon dress. Culture: French. Designer: Jacques Doucet (French, Paris 1853-1929 Paris). Date: 1900-1903.
Jacques Doucet was first, and foremost, a connoisseur of art.  Additionally, his passion for the refined and exquisite overflowed into his dealings with fashion, making him one of the finest French couturiers during the Belle Époque.  The House of Doucet began as a family business, specializing in women's lingerie and laces, as well as articles of clothing for men.  Founded in 1817, the company rose to fame under the hand of Jacques.  The house was known for its luxurious offerings, which were worn and coveted by royalty, members of the elite society in both Europe and America, and actresses of the stage.
This is an elegant afternoon dress that would be suitable for afternoon events, such as the races and other promenade activities.  The dress is an excellent example of Doucet's penchant for lingerie-like garments, which is represented by the delicate ruffles and rose printed chiffon.  The color combination of blues accented with turquoise is a favorite of the designer.
