Robe à la française
The Robe à la française by French fashion. The dress is made of cream-colored fabric with a repeating pattern of small flowers in pink, blue, and yellow. It has a full, flared skirt that falls to the floor and is gathered at the waist. The bodice is missing, and the front of the dress is open, revealing the interior. Two large bows are on either side of the opening at the waist. The dress appears to be made of silk or satin and has a smooth, lustrous finish. The background is a wrinkled white sheet or curtain that hangs behind and around the dress. The dress is on a headless, armless mannequin. The mannequin is positioned on a white sheet or fabric that is bunched up around the base.
