Blue gowns in this period (1765-1770) are rare, but this one just blows my mind because of the pattern matching situation going on.
Do you ever wonder why you don't see lots of dresses in the same patterns? That's because bolts of cloth were often made to order, or in such small batches that there would only be enough for one or two dresses--especially when there was this much fabric involved. Matching patterns with this much precision took incredible skill, and not a lot of room for mistakes.
According to the museum, this dress in in three parts: the petticoat, stomacher, and open robe. And they are "largely unaltered"--which is another rarity. Materials of this quality were often so sought after that the were re-cut and sewn decades, and sometimes, centuries after. Or, refitted to new wearers.

No, you are not imagining things. This is not a Betsey Johnson dress somehow masquerading as a historical garment. There was no time travel. This is a real gown from the mid(ish) 1700s made of Spitalfields silk.
Like many extant gowns, the secret is in the stitching. We know a few things about this dress due to its construction. 1) it was remade to fit changing aesthetics, likely during the same century and 2) it's a selvedge dress, meaning that unlike mantuas, it's made of pieced together silk (most expertly done) to show the appearance of an undisturbed piece of fabric.
The bright, floral brocade pattern is not at all uncommon, as the motifs of this era were certainly vivid in every sense. I particularly love the contrasting deep brown of the stomacher with the rest of the dress. It's relatively simple in terms of the times, but I adore it!
From Cora Ginsburg.
