Robe à l'anglaise

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Robe à l'anglaise by an unknown artist. The dress is on a white mannequin. The dress has a short puffy sleeve and a low square neckline trimmed with ruffles. The bodice is light-colored with a floral pattern. The skirt is made of two parts: the top part is the same light-colored floral fabric as the bodice. The bottom part is a smooth light-colored fabric. The floral fabric on the skirt extends from the waist down, meeting in the back. The floral fabric on the skirt is also split on both sides, revealing the smooth light-colored fabric underneath. The floral fabric on the skirt is gathered at the waist. A trim runs along where the two fabrics meet on the skirt. The mannequin stands on a flat brown object. The background is white.
