This evening gown from 1876 was one of the first dresses to be incorporated into the collection of the Centraal Museum. The original owner of this fashionable garment was -former director and curator- Carla de Jonge’s cousin, Annette Lucie Koch-van Rappard (1857-1928). Born in the Dutch East Indies, she married the Swiss consul and widower, Ferdinand Koch (1847-1900) in Leiden. She lived in Scheveningen after her marriage, but often travelled within Europe, and to Paris in particular. Where she probably bought this dress by fashion house Emile Pasquier. The bright blue skirt with its draped train and the bodice of golden yellow and blue cisele velvet must have made quite an impression. Three tapes are tied into the lining of the underskirt in order to form the specific shape of the skirt. Another ‘secret’ detail is the small lead weights in the bodice, which ensure that it stays in place.
