In 1756 an English commentator noted, “The French designers are at present esteemed the most happy in their inventions. The natural freeness of composition is really admirable, and suited to the purpose intended for without crowding things together, but display them with a careless air, beauty and delicacy, and no wonder that all the rest of the European nations take the French fashion of ornaments, for their rule and pattern to imitate.” (via: Arizona Costume Institute)mantuamaker: SuitBritain | 1760Wool | the MetRiding Coat ca. 1760 Met Museum Full Dress English, c. 1760 Spitalfield’s silk brocaded lustring (via)fuckyeahmantuamaker: Gown & Petticoat, c. 1785, printed cottonV&A Happy Birthday Marie Joséphine de Savoie!

Met historicalfashion: I don’t believe I’ve done an example from this era, so here is a sacque (sack) back gown from 1755-1760. Made from silk, it is a formal gown that exemplifies the height of the Rococo period. It is said to have been worn by Mrs. Craster. Housed at the V&A Museum.Dress (Robe à la Française)1750-1775 - French (via)Suit, 1774–92French (Paris)Silk”The embroidery with silk floss was executed à la disposition, created in predetermined pattern shapes, thus to accord fully with the silhouette and outlines of the suit. Even the embroidered buttons reiterate on a secondary scale the florals of the jacket.” via - Met Museumfuckyeahmantuamaker: Robe à la françaiseFrancec.1765 An open gown is simple - it’s a gown that has a separate petticoat (in 18th century parlance, a skirt) and is open in the front. What we traditionally associate with the 18th century. Fabric for petticoats can vary - either a contrasting or matching fabric - depends on your fancy! - this one has one that matches. Lovely. This style of fabric is called chiné à la branche - the pattern is printed onto the warp before weaving the fabric. from the Kyoto Costume Institutemissmeganelizabeth: Robe à la polonaiseca. 1780-1785fallingribbons: A Lady Seated at her Desk by Louis Léopold Boilly. From the late 1780s onwards, after he had settled in Paris, Boilly painted an increasing number of small scale cabinet paintings that appealed greatly to private collectors. These paintings successfully combined the contemporary appetite for moralising, amorous or sentimental subjects with a meticulous technique reminiscent of the 17th century Dutch painters such as Gerard Terborch.
