This 1780 Sack Dress came from an existing example at the London Museum. Decorations consist of pleated self fabric for trim with the use of small flowers, ribbons and lace. For each occasion at Court, a new dress would be made. This dress design started being used in 1750 and was popular until the Revolution.
Eyes are paperweight glass.
