Dress (Tea Gown)  House of Worth  (French, 1858–1956)  Designer: Jean-Philippe Worth (French, 1856–1926) Date: 1900–1901. This shows the luxurious lifestyle indicative of prominent women of the time. The teagown could be worn without a corset and was therefore a more comfortable form of dress in which one could greet guests at home. Teagowns were a particular vehicle for historicism and fantasy as evidences here with its deliberate interpretation of the 18th-century robe and petticoat form.
