18th Century Fashion

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, hand-stitched with intricate detailing that showcases the craftsmanship of the time. The dark cream silk fabric features a weft patterned design with stylized flowers and leaves, giving it an elegant and timeless look. The closed bodice and open skirt add to the classic silhouette of this English gown. Accompanying the dress is an ivory cream silk petticoat, quilted with a glazed wool lining for added warmth and structure. While not originally part of a set, these two pieces may have been worn together to create a complete ensemble. Despite some alterations over the years, including modifications in the 19th century, this dress still exudes charm and sophistication. It serves as a reminder of the fashion trends from centuries past and offers us a glimpse into the sartorial choices of women during that era. This print by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this historic garment but also the skill and artistry involved in its creation.
