Happy Saturday! Chris and I have been working overtime packing up Pompadours and white Kensingtons to ship out, so I'm a bit fried, but here are some pretty 1770s floral gowns to inspire you...
 |
| Cotton/linen gown c1774, Met Accession Number: 26.38a–d. Floral cotton/linen wasn't just for the light-of-ground. This is a beautiful example of a darker chintz |
 |
|
Robe a la polonaise ca. 1776-80 From the Museo de la Moda
|
 |
|
Robe a l’anglaise ca. 1770 From Artfund
|
 |
| Robe a la polonaise ca. 1780, Musée Galliera, Paris - is it a floral? is it a stripe? Ooo, BOTH! |
 |
|
Polonaise gown, painted silk from the V&A; museum, 1780s.
|
 |
| MFA -Dress (robe à la française) French, 1775 Cotton - interesting bordered, floral petticoat. I wonder if they were made to go together, or if this was styled from separate pieces, by the museum |
 |
|
LACMA - Robe a la Francaise, British, 1760-70. Chain-stitch silk embroidery on cotton twill, linen lining. |
 |
| KCI
c. 1770 (fabric: c. 1740)-England

|
Met - Robe à l’anglaise (that has been polonaised - see here for explanation) French | c. 1780 Silk. One of my favorites, maybe because the museum styled it with Historical Dog included, haha |
