Robe à la Française, Part II

Fig. 1: Robe à la française • 1730-1740 • © Stanislas Wolff / Paris Musées, Palais Galliera

When I was researching the Rococo fashion era, I collected so many images and I have to share some of my favorites. It's not so much the style of the Robe à la Française that I like (though I do very much like the box pleats and drape of the back) but the fabrics, colors, and patterns. Fig. 1 shows a gorgeous print in a beautiful color combination. Such a print for a dress today wouldn't work very well, as contemporary dresses don't have the volume of the 18th century styles, nor the lovely draping in the back of the Robe à la Française.

The Robe à la Française was derived from the loose negligee sacque dress of the earlier part of the century, which was pleated from the shoulders at the front at the back.

Metropolitan Museum of Art • 1760-70 • Silk, cotton

The silhouette was achieved with a funnel-shaped bust joining wide rectangular skirts. The wide skirts were supported by panniers and hoops constructed from cane, metal, and baleen. Fig. 2 shows a portrait sitter wearing a Robe à la Française with a contrasting underskirt.

Fig. 2: Artist unknown (British). Mrs. Cadoux, ca. 1770

🫛 🥕 I will never stop loving making these whimsy needle books.

I enjoy every bit of them, especially how tactile they are. They take forever and a day to embroider, crochet and needle felt.

I have a desire to make an A5 book cover, but I fear it's going to be way too expensive for me to be able to sell it.

Jess over on insta has finished stitching up her Blackwork Inner Solar System from my pattern.

Her work is meticulous, and she has changed a few things up to make this her own rendition (which I highly encourage!). The end product is just glorious.

It fills me with joy every time someone shares stitching from one of my designs or workshops. Textile love for everyone!

(Sorry if this is a bit spammy, I'm very excited.)

From Davis Ray: It took me 55 years to make this quilt! At 10 years old, in 1968, I told my mom I wanted to make a quilt for my bed. She gave me fabric and suggested I trace a postcard. Smart woman…I wouldn’t have to match corners! Well, time flies and here I am in 2023, aged 65. I retired and finally finished it. Mom is 99 years old and I am thrilled to have a photo of both of us with the quilt. I hand sewed a pocket on the back to hold the postcard, photos and the story of this quilt.
