| - A woman's sack, 1760-65, English; Pink silk damask, Spitalfields, 1720s; altered 1870-1910 (en)
- A woman's sack of deep pink silk damask in a large scale point repeat pattern of fantastic fruits and flowers. It is open to the waist at the front, with robings to the hem and elbow-length sleeves with deep, pleated cuffs. The bodice and sleeves are lined with linen. The back has two, double box pleats stitched at the neckline. The sack is made of 6 widths of silk, with a waistseam extending from the front edges to the bodice side-back seam. The skirts are pleated at the side seams on either side of the pocket openings.
The sack, with a matching petticoat, was possibly made in the 1740s with the deep pleated cuffs and the robings to the hem; some of the piecing at the back may be part of the original construction. In the early 1760s, it was altered, probably for another wearer. A waist seam was added, the back re-pleated and the skirts reconfigured for a narrower hoop. The scalloped, pinked ruching on the sleeve cuffs was possibly added at this time.
In the late 19th century, the sack was altered for fancy dress. The front panel of a matching petticoat was added to the front of the sack, and the hem faced with white satin. The robings below the waist were unpicked and the pinked and scalloped ruching (possbily removed from the petticoat) was added to each side of the front. (en)
