Robe à l'anglaise

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is of the "Robe à l'anglaise" by an unknown artist. The dress is long, extending to the floor. It is a single piece with a fitted bodice and a full skirt. The bodice is square-necked and sleeved. The sleeves are long, reaching to the wrists, and are fitted. The bodice and sleeves appear to be made of a smooth fabric. The skirt is gathered at the waist. The dress is a light color, possibly cream or off-white. The fabric of the skirt appears textured and possibly patterned with a floral design. The mannequin is white and headless. The background is black.
