Gilded Age Fashion

More than 50 Iconic Looks and the Stories Behind Them
This lavishly illustrated book indulges readers in the rich world of fashion worn by the most influential trendsetters of the Gilded Age. 

ShTransport yourself to the glamour of elite American society in the 1870s–90s.  

Showcasing stunning gowns from the late 19th century designed by founders of couture, Gilded Age Fashion draws from the finest museum collections to tell the story of an era defined by opulence, when families like the Vanderbilts, Astors, and Rockefellers dressed exquisitely for the grandest events on both sides of the Atlantic.  
Author Elizabeth Block details the social customs that guided the sartorial choices of the fabulously wealthy. Each sumptuous gown featured tells a story about its creator and the woman who wore it, and the opulent balls, opera nights, charity benefits, and society weddings she might have attended. Gilded Age Fashion opens a dazzling window into America's most extravagant age. 

Fifty exquisite gowns: The finest couture of the era drawn from renowned museum collections, led by the legendary House of Worth
