Summary

Description
English: Sack-back gown (Robe à la française) and petticoat, 1775-1780
Description
  • This garment is a combination of old-fashioned and up-to-date dress design. The very square hoops and sleeve ruffles at the elbow look back to the 1750s, while the centre front closure of the bodice is a feature of contemporary fashion.
  • The gown and petticoat are trimmed with badded bands of blue satin, chenille blonde lace, flowers of gathered ribbon, feathers and raffia tassels. This rich mélange is typically French. the floral imagery and curvilinear arrangement characterize exuberant Rococo-style dress embellishment.
  • However, the subtle colours of the gown and the delicacy of design reflect the growing influence of the Neo-classical style in textile decoration.
