- Woman's sack and petticoat, 1765-70, English; Blue silk, embroidered with silver thread, in floral trails, French, 1760s; altered 1870-1905 (en)
- A woman's sack and petticoat of blue ribbed silk embroidered in a pattern of overlapping floral trails in silver thread, purl and spangles. The sack is open at the front, with robings to the waist and elbow-length sleeves with double scalloped sleeve ruffles. The bodice and sleeves are lined with unbleached linen. The bodice fronts had four linen tapes (some now replaced) for fastening. The back has two double box pleats stitched at the neckline. The sack is made of two widths of silk with a partial panel on each side of the front. The waist seam extends from the front opening to the bodice side-back seam. The skirt side seams are shaped for a square hoop. The bodice robings and neckline are decorated with a ruching, edged with silver lace, gathered into puffs, which continues down the skirt fronts, increasing in width, arranged in a zig zag with bows and tassels of silk and silver lace.
The petticoat is made of 4 widths of silk, with a wide box pleat at centre front and flat pleats at the back. The waist is bound with blue linen tape which forms the fastenings at the centre back. The pocket openings are hemmed to form a casing for a narrow linen tape drawstring, to adjust the petticoat over a square hoop. The hem is faced with light blue silk taffeta. The petticoat front is decorated with a deep flounce of silk, with a band of the ruching, gathered in parallel puffs and edged with silk, in a zig zag above and below the flounce. These are decorated with bows and tassels of silk and silver lace.
In the late 19th century, the robings were unpicked for fancy dress. Conservation have reinforced them for display. (en)
