作为沃思之家裁缝的极好例子，这件衣服展示了 19 世纪最后几年的美学。连衣裙的时尚反向S曲线轮廓和纺织品的戏剧性卷轴图案反映了新艺术运动的影响。黑色天鹅绒在象牙色缎面地面上引人注目的图形并置营造出铁制品的错觉，弯曲的卷须突出了服装的时尚形状。为了达到这种效果，纺织品是按配置编织的，目的是让每件衣服都成为衣服的特定部分。通过这种技术，面料的设计是连衣裙设计所固有的。

A superb example of dressmaking from the House of Worth, this dress exhibits the aesthetic of the last years of the nineteenth century. The fashionable reverse S-curve silhouette of the dress and the dramatic scroll pattern of the textile reflect the influence of the Art Nouveau movement. The striking graphic juxtaposition of the black velvet on an ivory satin ground creates the illusion of ironwork, with curving tendrils emphasizing the fashionable shape of the garment. In order to achieve this effect, the textile was woven à la disposition, with the intent that each piece would become a specific part of the dress. With this technique, the design of the fabric is intrinsic to the design of the dress.
