Thanks for sharing--this is a lovely bibfront dress in a dark red silk.
In my admittedly un-scientific survey, it seems that prosperous matrons here
in the US favored dark silk gowns rather than muslin. There is quite a
selection of portraits where women are wearing such garments. Also, in a
private collection here in the US, there is a gorgeous silk man's waistcoat of
a similar color--it is perfectly plain, but the color is stunning.
