  • This delicate silk is from a dress said to have belonged to Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III, although this association cannot be proved. Charlotte was seventeen at the time of her marriage to the King in 1761, which was around the time when the silk was woven. It is a lustring, or lutestring, a lightweight silk with a glossy surface. In France, the colour green was thought only suitable for young women to wear, but attitudes were different in England. An English aristocrat, Lady Mary Coke, wrote in a letter home from the French court in 1773 : “I had on a green lutestring, a beautiful colour, which I had bought here; the different ideas in different countries are ridiculous; in England ‘tis a colour one might wear at four score [eighty] : here few people wear it after thirty. The Queen I believe takes me to be much younger than I am, to be sure. She did not mean to say anything impolite, when she told me one must be young to wear that colour.” Lady Mary was aged forty-seven at the time. (en)
