It looks to be to be a Robe a' l'anglaise with an en fereau back. Most of
the bodice is cut seperately from the skirt, except the narrow centre back
piece, that one is cut one with the skirt. The pieces are then all stitched
together as a dress, kinda like what you would do if it were a sacque.
hope that helps

Subject: [h-cost] dress type
I have finally found a propper picture to show. This is a painting of the
view over the thames. Its from the mid century. You can clearly see that
the ladies dresses dont have the sack backed trains in the back. I have
seen this type of dress in many danish paintings two, yeat this type of
dress is never spoken of in any history books.
So i ask you!
Please take a look at this painting wich i uploaded, it is cropped just to
show the persons, and its ben magnified a lot, so its not the best
quality.
What is this dress called? Is it bodice and skirt, or is the skirt
attached to the bodice?
I am so curious to hear what you think!
