Skirt

1867

Hungarian National Museum

Hungarian National Museum
Budapest, Hungary

The skirt, with a long train as expected by court standards, is made of white moire. The rim of the skirt is adorned by embroidery of fantasy flowers of various height, ordered into “S” shapes. To create the embroidery, they used lamé, a thin, smooth and patterned ribbon. A bobbin-lace strip is sewn all around the circumference of the skirt, with a gold thread at the edge.
The first one to wear this skirt – along with other clothes – was the wife of Count György Majláth, Stefania Prandau, at the coronation of Francis Joseph I in 1867.
