I can't tell you how much I want to get my hands on this garment! It would come in so useful! This is the 'Longchamps' robe, first worn at the popular hot spot...you guess it! Longchamps! (see above promenade) Ladies would want to be seen here with friends and pups by their side, wearing the most fabulous robes and gowns of course!The skirt is held up with nœuds d'amour and tassels, and trimmed with paillettes; the ornamental sash is of lévite style. The upper robe is of speckled gauze.
GALERIE DES MODES PLATE 122, 1779
