EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of a women's dress from England, London, Spitalfields, dating back to around 1775-1780. The robe a l'Anglaise is made of silk and wool, meticulously hand-stitched to create intricate patterns of stylized flowers and leaves. The dark cream color with point or mirror repeat design adds an elegant touch to the closed bodice and open skirt.
Accompanying the dress is a petticoat in ivory cream silk, quilted with a glazed wool or calamanco lining. While not originally part of a set, they may have been worn together by a fashionable woman during that time period.
The craftsmanship and attention to detail on this garment are truly remarkable, showcasing the skill and artistry of the makers from centuries ago. This piece serves as a window into the fashion trends of the late 18th century in England.
Displayed at Glasgow Museums in the UK, this dress represents more than just clothing - it tells a story of style, culture, and tradition passed down through generations. A true masterpiece preserved for us to admire and appreciate today.
