Robe a la anglaise size 12-14

 An elegant set of an anglaise and a petticoat in high quality silk taffeta suitable to late 1760-1780s portrayals.

 Features:

* stunning striped silk, very light and crispy. hiogh quality, easy to  iron - 8m of taffeta has gone into the gown!

*  bodice lined with linen and front boned with single bone ( artificial whalebone) on each side

* decorated with pinked and pleated self trim and green linen braid  

* the skirt can be polonaised with ties and buttons - left flowing

* the skirt trim continues onto the bodice to create the false 'zone front' - here the trim is only pinned to the  bodice and can be arranged in a variety of shapes, or simply hidden completely inside the bodice - different looks!

*bodice closes in front - for historical accuracy, with pins ( not included). The front  can overlap, or meet, depending on size, hooks and eyes were also used in the period, but will require an ideal fit - the new owner can add them later on ( or have them added), if required.

* skirt closes with tapes, so easy to regulate size. ( when wearing, first tie the ties of the back piece in front, and then the  ties of the front piece at the back :-)

* straw bergere hat  with maching decoration included

*  skirt supports, mittens and fichu not included. 

 * for economy's sake, the inside fiish is modern - it is also easier to take the bodice in if needed.
