EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century print depicts a woman wearing a Robe à la Française, a fashionable dress popular in England around 1765. The elegant gown, made of silk satin with weft float patterning and silk passementerie, was a symbol of wealth and sophistication during the Georgian era. The dress features a voluminous skirt, which was supported by a petticoat and hoops, and a fitted bodice adorned with intricate floral designs. The color of the dress is pure white, adding to its elegant and refined appearance. The Robe à la Française was a significant departure from the earlier Robe à la Anglaise, which had a more fitted silhouette. The new style, which originated in France, allowed for a more flowing and graceful look, with the fabric draped over the body and secured with a sash at the waist. This fashion trend spread quickly throughout Europe, and England embraced it with open arms. The woman in the print wears her hair in the popular high-piled style of the time, with curls cascading down her back. Her accessories include a pair of gloves, a fan, and a brooch, all of which were essential items for a lady of the period. The location of the print is unknown, but it is clear that this woman is dressed in the height of fashion for her time and place. This print is a testament to the rich and intriguing history of fashion in Europe during the 18th century. The Robe à la Française represents a time of elegance, refinement, and opulence, when clothing was a statement of wealth and status. The intricate designs and luxurious fabrics used in this dress are a reminder of the importance of fashion in expressing identity and social position during this period.
