Rebecca OldsFantastic to attend the preview last night of The School of Historical Dress's new exhibition "Blue" and see the c.1700-1710 mantua that they acquired *completely unpicked* alongside the reconstruction that I and seven other students of historical dress helped the School make last month.

Described by The Met as a winged polonaise, this French silk dress was probably (due to its size) worn by a young woman, 1778-80 #dress #1770s #dresshistory #fashionhistory
@mimicofmodes I think the waistline clinches it, have deleted. Thanks again.
@mimicofmodes Met’s v brief description does read ca 1845 but I’ve come across dubious dating there before. Thanks for this.
The School of Historical Dress has announced the dates for the new "BLUE" exhibition in its series "Our Collections by Colour".
One star attraction will be the 18th century mantua that I and other students helped re-construct last month.
I will be visiting the exhibition preview on Thursday evening and will finally be able to share 'final reveal' photos!
