The Dolly Varden Gown - 1902

<B>These are showing a revival of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_Varden_(costume)">Dolly Varden dress</a>, a style that is named after the character in Charles Dicken's book Barnaby Rudge. These dresses were popular in the 1870's. There was quite a fad, the name shows up in songs, on stage and there is even a trout we still call a Dolly Varden. <br> Since this is from The Ladies' Home Journal dated 1902, these gowns were a look back. It's too bad these aren't in color since "The term Dolly Varden in dress is generally understood to mean a brightly patterned, usually flowered, dress with a polonaise overskirt gathered up and draped over a separate underskirt.".<br>These are designed by a Mrs. Ralston and illustrated by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Mitchell_Peirce"> Thomas Mitchell Peirce</a>, the same artist who did the bride on the cover.</B><p> <a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/LadiesHomeJournalJune1902-18.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/LadiesHomeJournalJune1902-18.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/LadiesHomeJournalJune1902-17.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/LadiesHomeJournalJune1902-17.jpg" width="400"></a><br>
