During the mid-1800s, Paris started haute couture, a new trend in fashion that elevated mere dressmaking to the luxurious status of high-quality, customized fashion. During this time, individual designers made their mark in the fashion industry with their one-of-a-kind creations that wore the designer's name on the label.
Many haute couture dresses had small trains, and were decorated with many buttons, ruffles, and ribbons. Although the fashion started in Paris, it moved over to other countries as well, especially the United States, and the concept and practice carries on to this day.
