Getting Dressed: Gilded Age Tea Dress

When you invite your friends over for an afternoon hang but are determined to be the room's best-dressed, you wear a Gilded Age tea gown. In the second episode of Getting Dressed, our behind-the-scenes series in the Museum's costume storage collection, we take a closer look at an opulent tea gown that's absolutely bursting with color and personality. #GettingDressed For more: A striking pink Gilded Age afternoon dress: bit.ly/GettingDressed1 An evening gown for Louise Nevelson: bit.ly/GettingDressed4 Browse even more dresses in our costume & textiles collection: bit.ly/2xGomqI
