- Woman's overdress of hand-painted and dyed cotton, Coromandel Coast, ca. 1760-1770 (en)
- Dress (robe à l’anglaise)
About 1785
Characterised by its close-fitting back, the robe à l’anglaise, or English-style dress, was fashionable across Europe in the 1770s and ’80s. This one is made of vibrantly patterned painted cotton, or chintz, imported from India through the port of Amsterdam. Indian cottons were popular because of their fast and bright colours and the competitive price, which made them available to a wider market.
Dutch Republic, now the Netherlands
Fabric (1760–70): India (Coromandel Coast); cotton, mordant- and resistdyed (chintz)
Stamped with the mark of the Dutch East India Company
Replica petticoat: cotton
