Marquise de Grécourt, née de la Fresnaye by Jean-Laurent Mosnier, ca. 1790
I love displays like this! It’s so much more interesting than having the clothing hanging from headless mannequins.
Gorgeous! The red and white striped dress looks like a dress from the Kyoto Costume Institute collection. It all looks like it’s 1770s-1780s
Gown and matching petticoat made of light red silk with silver embroideries. Detachable sleeves. Worn by the first lady of the court, Ulrika Trolle-Wachtmeister, in the 1780’s.
I thought this was quite the odd piece but none the less gorgeous. I love the idea of detachable sleeves…

Love the dress, love the tableau even more!

So this is what I’ve been doing while on hiatus from posting over the break!
Now that I’m back, I’ll get to work filling some requests I’ve got in the ask box right away :)
These are (maybe) Marie Antoinette’s 300-year-old shoes.
