Antique sculpture "Girl with Flowers". Made of bronze with gilding and mounted on a marble base. The sculptor perfectly worked out every smallest detail in both the elegant dress and the girl’s hairstyle. You and I can even see the buds in the cute bouquet of flowers that completes the look. Europe, twentieth century.

Not everyone could afford dresses, because they were made from very expensive materials: velvet, silk, satin. The outfits were multi-layered and consisted of different textures. Numerous layers made the dress as full as possible. Making products required great skill from seamstresses, which was very expensive. The symbol of that era was the corset, which was customary to tighten tightly, which made life difficult for young ladies, because it made it very difficult to breathe. Fashionistas of that time did not pay attention to the inconvenience, they only thinned their waists and tightened their straps, because balls and social events were an integral part of the life of high society.
