Aimée's Gown Pictured with Aimée's skirt, stomacher and shoes and worn over Aimée's stays, petticoat and panniers.

A decadent three-piece ensemble, this is an adaptation of a "robe à la française", an 18th century gown. Made entirely out of 100% silk, this luxurious gown features a “sacque back” (pleats falling from the high back into a small train and connecting to the rest of the skirt) as well as pink and silver scalloped lace on the sleeve cuffs. A hand-made trim of pink and burgundy silk frames the front of the dress and the hem is edged with pink silk and burgundy tulle. As was traditional in the 18th century, the wearer is sewn into the dress with invisible stitches connecting the dress to the embellished stomacher.
