In the early 20th century, corsets became a thing of the past and dresses were becoming increasingly straight and simple, exemplified by the modern "Flapper" look of the mid-1920s. Yet, a markedly nostalgic style of dress emerged just before then. Known in France as a "robe de style" and in England as a "picture dress," this romantic throwback drew heavily on 18th century hooped petticoats and panniers with its artificially horizontal silhouette. This yellow silk crepe dress is an excellent example of this type of dress which was popular for afternoon gatherings and garden parties in the early 1920s. Its simple sleeveless bodice extends into the full skirt propped out on each hip by the modern version of panniers.” On loan from The Mint Museum
