EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print showcases a Woman's Robe à la Française or afternoon dress and petticoat from France, circa 1760. The Robe à la Française was a popular fashion trend during the Rococo era, characterized by its voluminous skirts and elegant silhouette. The dress is made of linen plain weave with wool chain stitch embroidery and crewel work, adorned with intricate floral designs and vibrant colors. The petticoat, also made of linen, adds to the fullness of the skirt, creating a grand and impressive appearance. The woman in the print wears a matching hat, adorned with a large bow, completing the fashionable ensemble of the time. The dress and petticoat are reminiscent of the opulence and elegance of the European aristocracy during the 1760s. The floral patterns and colors used in the embroidery are characteristic of the Rococo style, which emphasized the beauty and delicacy of nature. The Robe à la Française was often worn as an afternoon dress, for formal occasions or as a sign of wealth and status. The dress and petticoat were typically made by skilled artisans, and the intricate embroidery and attention to detail required a significant amount of time and resources. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history of European fashion during the 18th century, and the elegance and sophistication of the Robe à la Française continues to captivate and inspire fashion enthusiasts today.
