Robe à l'anglaise
The image depicts a full-length, formal dress with a full skirt and fitted bodice. The dress is labeled "Robe à l'anglaise", by an unknown artist. The dress is made of a cream-colored fabric with a small, repeating pattern of brown flowers and vines. The dress has a fitted, long-sleeved bodice with a high neckline and a small lace collar. The sleeves are fitted at the upper arm and become slightly puffed at the shoulder. The skirt is full and flared, with a long train in the back. The skirt is gathered at the waist and has a small slit up the back. The dress appears to be made of a heavy fabric, possibly silk or satin. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
