Dress, c. 1794


Los Angeles County Museum of Art. (TR.3630.1)

Description from An Elegant Art: Fashion and Fantasy in the Eighteenth Century. Los Angeles:Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1983. "Multicolored verticle satin stripes on solid and chine horizontal stripes of silk; military-style with triple-cape collar and large revers; shaped sleeves; frock buttons at center back of skirt; linen-lined under bodice; Directorie Style" (170).

This dress looks like it would drag on the floor, and the sleeves look pretty tight and uncomfortable.
