Afternoon Dress | c. 1887 ・・・ This candy cane dress is the earliest known (1887) complete dress with a designer label. In the late 19th century, John James Milloy catered to an elite clientele specializing in “tailor-mades,” suit-like ensembles more practical than dresses for sports, travel, or occupations outside the home. Milloy followed a relatively new practice that became commonplace as clothing production industrialized. Higher-end makers labelled garments with their names, guaranteeing the quality, creative authorship and authenticity of their product. ・・・ #historicalfashion #fashion #fashiondesign #christmas #fashionhistory #historyoffashion #vintagefashion #art #vintage #historicfashion #defunctfashion #costume #costumedesign #couture #victorianfashion #victorian #secondbustleera @museemccord #🎪🎯🍿🇦🇹 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq7x7zQgVNC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m7ibv3dfgqi0
