- A woman's gown of silk tobine, with stripes in two shades of beige and blue with a vertical feather pattern. The gown is open at the front with long sleeves to the wrist, fastening with 3 silk-covered buttons and buttonholes (4 buttons missing). The boldice meets at centre front. The back is made of two shaped pieces tapering to a squared end below the waist at centre back. The bodice fronts and back pieces are lined with linen and stitched together; the sleeves are lined with linen. The side back seams are boned and there is a bone either side of the centre back seam. The bodice front edges are boned, with eight worked eyelets for lacing. A line of stitching in the lining of the bodice fronts below the neckline forms a casing for narrow linen tape drawstrings. The skirt is made of 4 widths of silk, finely flat-pleated into the waist seam.
The gown was probably made in the English (tight-back) style in the 1770s and then updated in the 1780s. The skirt was unpicked and cut at the back pleats, and the bodice back reconfigured to a squared point. Panels from the skirt front were removed and used to make the wrist-length sleeves. The ruched cuffs of the 1770s cuff were retained and stitched to the long sleeves at the elbow.
The cuffs were removed, probably in the late 1780s and later reattached. The silk ribbon lacing with brass finials is a later addition. (en)
