By the way, this portrait is one of the reasons that i keep on saying that cartridge pleating was used in 18th century, even though the 18th century womens list has disagreed. I think you're right. The big difference in this gown and is say one of Madam de Pompadour's is this is not an open robe. It is a bodice with skirt attached. The crisp silk looks cartridge pleated to me....it doesn't even look like those little 1/2 inch pleats you get in the 1770s and 80s. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
