As vast fortunes were built by men who dominated finance and industry, it was women who brokered power in the social arena. With their well-appointed wardrobes, they achieved social prominence by ensuring they were elegantly and appropriately dressed for every luncheon, reception, promenade, and ball. It was an era marked by an increasingly style-conscious public, shaped by the expanding fashion press that reported on both the couture houses of Paris&rsquo;s Rue de la Paix and the department stores of New York&rsquo;s Ladies&rsquo; Mile. This volume offers a comprehensive look at women&rsquo;s fashion in Gilded Age America&mdash;detailing everything from undergarments to accessories, in categories ranging from sportswear to mourning attire. Fashion historian Raissa Breta&ntilde;a traces the evolution of the fashionable silhouette from 1870 to 1910, and delves into the cultural context and customs of etiquette surrounding dress during this dynamic period in American history. <strong><em>Fashion of the Gilded Age<\/em><\/strong> is richly illustrated with over two hundred images&mdash;including extant garments, fashion plates, paintings, and photographs&mdash;and is sure to delight anyone fascinated by the fashion, history, and extravagance of the Gilded Age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sumptuous book that examines each facet of the Gilded Age society lady&rsquo;s wardrobe&mdash;from tea gowns to tailor-mades, bustles to bathing costumes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":81046,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5597,5583],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-81045","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-design","7":"product_cat-fashion-textiles","8":"author-by-author-raissa-bretana","9":"publisher-abbeville-press","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fashion of the Gilded Age - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: Fashion of the Gilded Age, Pages: 256 Pages, Publish Date: 11th Jan 2027, Author: Raissa Breta\u00f1a, ISBN: 9780789215482.
