| - Unique (en)
- F, 1780s, English; Cotton embroidered with coloured floral trail; Indian, 1770s; altered 1870-1890 (en)
- A woman's gown of linen tamboured in an all-over pattern of serpentine trails with flowers and leaves in shades of pink, green, yellow and red, with additional herringbone stitch. The gown is open at the front, with a separate bodice and skirt, seamed at the waist. The sleeves extend over the elbow, shaped to fit. The bodice meets at centre front. The bodice and sleeves are lined in two different bleached linens. The back is cut in 6 pieces, tapering to a point at the waist. The skirt is made of 3 widths of cotton, gathered into the waist seam. The hem is faced with white linen tape.
The gown is heavily pieced with numerous fold marks. It may have been made in the 1770s and remade for a larger wearer in the 1780s. Additional pieces of cotton and the linen lining were added at each side of the back, and also to the bodice fronts. The sleeves were possibly peiced, resized and converted to the curved shape. The hem was let down.
The small loops of braided cotton cord - two on the left side, only one remaining on the right - were probably added for fancy dress in the late 19th century. (en)
