Robe à l'anglaise

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Robe à l'anglaise by unknown artist. The image shows a full-length, long-sleeved dress on a mannequin. The dress is dark-colored with a floral pattern in shades of pink, orange, and green. The dress has a square neckline and appears to be made of a fabric with a repeating pattern. The sleeves are long and puffy at the cuffs, which are made of a lighter-colored fabric, possibly lace or ruffles. The dress is open at the front, revealing a cream-colored underskirt or petticoat. The mannequin is white and headless, with a small wooden platform underneath. The background is plain white.
