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

It is was one of the most accurate rendtion of 18th century attire reproductions. The striped calico along with other textiles are also correct for the time period.
