About the work
Carnival costumes can be funny. Lighthearted. Daring. Outrageous. Sensual. It all depends on what kind of carnival it is and where, and who the participants are. One thing with colleagues, another within the family circle, a third with classmates, and out on the street among the crowd — something else entirely. There are also parties where it is worth appearing in all your splendor. Right now, before you are masquerade gowns of a special class. In fact, the tongue refuses to call them masquerade costumes. These are full-fledged works of the tailoring art. You could even be filmed in them for movies in the roles of aristocrats; even the closest close-up will not reveal flaws in the cut or finishing.
These gowns represent the finest examples of women's fashion from the 16th to the 19th centuries. During the Renaissance, women's attire began to move away from medieval modesty and acquire a cheerful decorativeness: folds appeared, patterned insets, and the sleeves became expressive and coquettish.
In the subsequent Baroque era, an outright fatal femininity prevailed: ornaments, dark shades, necklines — everything hints at mystery, intrigue, promises adventure. Milady, the ruin of musketeers, and the innocent-eyed rogue Angelique are the most characteristic images of that turbulent century. It was followed by the outwardly calm, indulgent Rococo, blooming with a sea of lace. This was the time of the utmost lavishness and complexity of women's outfits, hairstyles, and love polygons.
Rocaille gowns are extremely varied, and in our shop you will find several different versions of them: of the enlightened lady, the heartbreaking socialite, the aristocrat, the queen, even the empress — one should not forget that the eighteenth century remains in the memory of moviegoers as the golden age of absolute monarchies, female adventurers, and mockers. That said, the times ahead were no less bountiful for the fashionable.
Empire-style gowns gave the ladies a chance to rest for a while from the heavy panniers of the previous century and the awkward crinolines of the subsequent Victorian era. In the flowing Empire gowns, whose cut resembled ancient tunics, the Natasha Rostovs of the world fluttered about the balls with graceful ease
