Robe à l'anglaise

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Robe à l'anglaise by an unknown artist features a full-length dress with a cream-colored base. The dress has a fitted bodice with a low neckline and three-quarter length sleeves. A decorative gold trim adorns the neckline, sleeves, and sides of the bodice. The skirt is full and features a pattern of multicolored chevrons in shades of blue, orange, and brown on the outer layer, while the underskirt is solid cream-colored. The dress is displayed on a white mannequin with white gloves, standing on a brown platform against a plain white background.
