## Caption

For today's #textiletuesday, an 1880s skirt showcases the decade's preference for contrasting silks and velvets, which created an exciting combination. Teal velvet floral appliquées embellished with gold-painted beads decorate the blue silk-taffeta skirt. Blue thread outlines this embroidery, drawing an onlooker's gaze to the exquisite textile. 1950.32.2, Gift of Mrs. Osborne O. Heard. #19thcentury #19thcenturyfashion #1880sfashion #1880s #1880sdress #silk #taffeta #velvet #vintagefashion #vintagestyle #silktaffeta
