Worth | Tea Gown | c. 1900
The elaborate and luxurious decoration on this gown characterises fashionable ‘at home’ wear of the late 19th century and early 20th. It was worn by the mother of Lady Hoyer Millar. In September 1900 The Queen, The Lady’s Newspaper described the ideal tea-gown: ‘It is quite a perfect gown showing soft falling kilted flounces at the hem, silk muslin or silk serving to enhance the beauty of incomparable lace’.
