LACMA had a temporary collection featuring clothing from periodic times. These are some of the pieces I photographed when I went. The collection was a pretty extensive one featuring women's, men's, and some children's pieces. I have to commend them on their beautifully crafted pieces without the aid of modern technology.
1890's piece. The shape of this dress is very typical with the "S" curve and mono bosom.
Judging by the flat front and exaggerated backside I believe this dress is from the 1870's.
1780's or 1790's dress
Crinolines were used to give shape to the dresses without adding weight. These were probably used in the 1880's as bustles and very detailed backsides were the fashion then.
