Rococo
Thise style of dress, called a Robe al la Francaise, was one of the most popular styleof dress during the 18th century. It is not hard to think why due to the extravagnt style of the panier shape and rich embellishments. The back of the dress has a pleated train that starts from the shoulders and hides a pannel where the dress can be laced up. The front of the dress can be closed with hook and eyes, or period correct with pins.
The skirt, or pettiecoat, has slits that correspond with the panier so you can reach loose pockets that are tied around the waist. Underpinnings are not included, please see my underpinnings page.

I've made this suit for my husband for our 18th century themed wedding! I've spend months finding the right material and have even found a company that reproduces 18th century fabrics of which his waistcoat is made. The outfit consists of a white linnen shirt with French cotton lace ruffles and cuffs. Across the collar a white linnen stock is worn/
The front of the waistcoat is made from silk damask and the back from sold silk, as was correct for the period (most had backs of sold linnen, but I choose silk as would have been worn at court). The waistcoat closes with fabric coverd buttons and has 2 pockets with pocket flaps. The coat has a full skirt with 2 pleats and a split at the back. The cuffs and front of the coat has been embellished with embroiderd lace. The coat has 2 big pockets with pocket flaps and the coat is fully lined with silk. The breeches are also made from silk and close at front with fabric coverd buttons and has a lacing at the back.
