About this Event
The Gilded Age.
The Army & Navy Club, 36 Pall Mall, London SW1.
Tuesday 8th October at 11am to include tea and coffee on arrival.
One price £35 by kind invitation of the Kensington & Chelsea Women’s Club.
You have seen the beautifully bedecked Edwardian Gilded Age women immortalised in John Singer Sargent paintings and you can now discover everything the turn of the century woman needed in her sartorial arsenal to lure a future husband at her debutante ball, or languidly lounge for perhaps her de Laslo portrait.
Victoria and Albert Museum lecturer, Anne Haworth, will review the famous couturiers of the age chief among them being the House of Worth. A morning discovering the sumptuous fabrics, delicate embroidery and expensive beading which made these stunning gowns.
