A rare seaside dress from c.1885-88, which would have been worn for tennis, yachting or simply walking, picnicking or sketching by the sea. Whilst the bustle silhouette remains, the dress has been shortened & streamlined for manoeuvrability & sports a jaunty, nautical stripe.

@AnneLouiseAvery @damiancugley Prudent use of dazzle camouflage, to confuse enemies when yachting.

@AnneLouiseAvery @EHChalus Just gorgeous - though I wouldn't want to play tennis in it. The stripes are amazing.
