Dress (“robe à la française”)
1775
A dress that demonstrates the magnificence achievable with hand work. The subdued impression given by the elegant monochrome all the more augments the tranquil refinement of numerous ornaments created by needle and thread, along with raised decorations that ripple like the shiny luster of silk satin. Needlework ornaments made with typical French quilting techniques such as “bouillonné”, where the cloth is gathered together to create bulk, “boutis”, which incorporates cotton padding, and “tuyauté”, where the fabric is brought into a tube-like shape, are repeated throughout the garment. These techniques may be simplistic, but they are raised to an extraordinary level of refinement in the ensemble shown here. Moreover, the delicate ornaments of chenille and fly fringes are also an expression of graceful beauty, conveying the sophistication of the Rococo France court culture.

Dinner Dress
N. Rodrigues
The Second half of the 1870s
The strong combination of the complimentary colours, deep blue-green and red, was created using the latest fashionable chemical dyes at the time. This textile, woven with a large, bright red rose pattern on a dark and solemn background, shows the new taste in colours. The thickness and stiffness of high-quality silk fabric, like this fabric was ideal for creating the clear, sharp lines of the bustle style. In order to highlight the backside, cloth, ribbons, fringe, and other ornamentation increased the dress’ volume, as was the tendency of this period. -Kyoto Costume Institute

Man’s Suit (habit à la française)
1770-1780s
This suit is characterized by elegant embroidery and pale, pastel tones said to be the colors of the Rococo Period. The luxurious outfit that men from the 18th century nobility would wear, the “habit à la française”, is composed of a coat, waistcoat, and breeches. It also included a pair of silk stockings, a jabot, a linen or cotton shirt with decorative cuffs, and a cravat (a neckcloth). Men’s suits transformed to a more functional style in the last half of the eighteenth century. Overall the coat became tight-fitting, the length of the waistcoat became short, the waistcoat’s sleeves were removed, and the hem was cut horizontally.-Kyoto Costume Institute
