Death Becomes Her: Ladies in Mourning
I was fortunate to be able to visit Death Becomes Her at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The exhibit showcased a century of mourning attire. The gowns on display proved that even ladies in mourning could wear beautiful clothes. Here are a few of my favorites:
Mourning gown worn by Queen Victoria
US Civil War-era wedding dress in half-mourning colors in honor of the fallen
American mourning ensemble circa 1897
Mourning coat by the House of Worth circa 1907
Half-mourning gowns from 1902
