Description

Rose linen 1770's linen Robe a l'anglaise worn polenaise style over shift, stays, bum roll and three petticoats with accesories.

I started work on the pattern for the gown the day after christmas and have finished it on the 13th of january. I put somewhere between 25 and 50 hours into it not counting research. It is entirely hand sewn in linen thread and I have attemped to use period construction techniques. It closes in front by means of pins. The back bodice and skirt are a continuous piece of fabric as can be seen in the back shots.

My main sources of information for this were:
Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion
Linda Baumgarten's Costume Close-up
Sharron Ann Burnston's Fitting and Proper
