Dawn, Leon Sault, designed for Charles Frederick Worth, 1860s
From the Victoria & Albert Museum
Designs likely created by Léon Sault for Charles Frederick Worth, Paris, 1860s.
A costume tweak I DO appreciate in the Greek revival is the “board game” Masquerade costume.
Based on a design Léon Sault made for House of Worth in the 1860s, the original design feature a chess game skirt, backgammon apron, game piece headdress and trims, and a green “felt” petticoat with dices (top left). The design got a black/white/gold spin in Andrew Riley’s rendering of it, fitting the overall Masquerade colour scheme, but the game details were in large kept (top right).
Somehow all these board game references were lost in the original Oslo costume. It featured various black and white patterns, but none to be identified as a board game. The shape was however nice (bottom left).
The new Greek take on the costume has included a backgammon apron and various game pieces, which I appreciate. They could have gone even longer, but the apron makes it so much more a statement piece and a nice historical reference. So yeah.
