This presentation focuses on a significant garment from the Museo del Traje's collection: a Romantic Dress dating from approximately 1830, which was featured as the 'Model of the Month' in October 2007. The exhibit delves into the historical context of fashion in Romantic Spain, particularly the influence of fashion magazines of the era, discussing their editorial content which ranged from social anecdotes to serialized novellas and needlework patterns. The page also details the typical attire of the period, including the 'traje de calle' (street wear) with its characteristic bell-shaped skirt, fitted bodice, and voluminous sleeves, as well as 'redingotes' and outerwear like 'capas.'
