A look at our museum work - check out this inside waistband with Charles Worth’s signature on one of the Oglebay family dresses!

The exhibit “The Ladies of Waddington” came down this year and objects are being returned to other exhibits and archive storage to rest. This dress, which belonged to Sarita, was made for her by The House of Worth in 1899.

The House of Worth was the best known dress maker in all of Paris and one of the most famous in the world. Ladies of wealth would cross the Atlantic for a trip to Paris to have their wardrobe made by him.

Some of his famous clients included Empress Eugenie, who was Napoleon III’s wife and were the last monarchs of France. This dress was designed to be put on with the help of an assistant who would handle the various buttons and hooks.
