Dress. Culture: American. Date: 1855.This is a well-documented boy's garment which came into the museum collection with a daguerreotype of the owner wearing the dress. Likely, this dress was chosen to represent the child at his best for the photograph. Children's fashions in the 1860s took on a much less structured silhouette, in stark contrast to the more fitted garments associated with the 1850s. The loose style of this garment is more associated with the 1860s children's clothing than the 1850s. It is not clear whether the date was specifically associated with the child and the photograph or rather the style of the dress would more clearly date the photograph. Often when there is a clear history of the child, it is a confirmation of the date of the garment. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Entari 18th century The entari, or robe, was the primary garment of indoor dress for women in the Ottoman Empire for several centuries. Worn over an undershirt (gömlek) and baggy trousers (şalvar), the entari was open down the front, held closed by a belt or sash. While the proportions of the garment changed over time, the basic construction as demonstrated in this example, the oldest in the museums collection, remained the same. A single loom width of fabric comprises the body of the entari, with no shoulder seam. Long triangular pieces of fabric (peş in Turkish) are sewn to each side and the front openings to add width to the garment. While entaris from earlier centuries were closed at the sides, by the eighteenth century when this garment was made, it was customary to leave the side seam open near the waist, revealing the şalvar and gömlek beneath. Similarly, the long narrow sleeves were open until the elbow, allowing the extra sleeve length to fall away from the arm. The sleeves,

Vest. Culture: American. Date: 1835-40.Waistcoats of the 18th and 19th centuries served as a layer protection and ornamentation during a period in fashion when the coat was intended to be left open in the front. The color was often chosen to complement the suit and covered in imaginative embroideries, heavily woven patterns or shiny satins made to draw the eye. The style of the neck, the length and the hem treatment fluctuated as the tastes changed from over-sized coats of the early 18th century to narrow tightly fitted coats of the late 18th century and onward.The distinctive pattern masterfully executed through canvas work embroidery on this vest is indicative of the skill of the women of the 19th century, who were expected to create household object alongside garments and fashion accessories such as this.
