Dress #005.2: Robe à la française in pink and coral flowers on yellow Regency dress I’m sure Joan Holloway wouldThe dress is made from chiyogami (Japanese paper), and is hand stitched on cold pressed 100% cotton paper. The design is based on an English gown from the 1760s, held by the Victoria & Albert Museum (accession 700 1864); the style is known as a robe la franaise. The dress is six inches tall, stitched by hand on 8x10 inch watercolour paper, which means that it will pop right into any commercial frame in that size, and be ready to hang on your wall.
