EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning gown of red brocade, worn in the Barbados Colony around 1685. The rich fabric and intricate design speak to the opulence and elegance of the time period. Created by Sophie B Steel, this image is part of "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" by Elisabeth McClellan. The vibrant red color of the gown commands attention, symbolizing power and wealth. Its golden accents add a touch of regality, while the cream-colored undergarments provide a subtle contrast. The woman wearing this exquisite garment exudes confidence and grace as she stands with her hands clasped. With her brown hair styled in ringlets framing her face, she embodies timeless beauty. Her profile captures a sense of poise and sophistication that transcends centuries. This print transports us back to an era when British colonies flourished in America. It offers a glimpse into the fashion trends that defined society during this pivotal time in history. Sophie B Steel's artistry brings life to this historical artifact, allowing us to appreciate its beauty from afar.
