This is a half dress, something to wear around the house when not expecting company? It is the apron that makes me think this, though the whole thing is pretty glam.
And more stripes, as we saw in the last gown for this month in this year.
From Ackermann's Repository the description is as follows:
Green satin striped sarsnet frock, ornamented round the bottom with a rich border, embroidered with shaded chenille; long full sleeve, confined at the wrist, and trimmed with Vandyke lace.
A bodice and apron made of clear muslin, trimmed entirely round with Vandyke lace, and headed with a double row of white satin ribband; falling collar, trimmed to correspond.
Cap composed of blond lace and satin tied under the chin with a silk cord and tassel.
Neck-chain and heart of Oriental gold.
Gloves, Limerick or French kid. Sandals of striped kid.
I love the way this model looks in this cap, but I have the feeling it would not suit everyone, ie me. A bit too floppy.
Until next time.
