Formal Ball Gown in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, July 2018
Title: Formal Ball Gown (robe parée)
Designer: Attributed to Marie-Jeanne "Rose" Bertin (French, 1747–1813)
Date: 1780s (with later alterations)
Culture: French
Medium: Silk satin, with silk embroidery, appliqués of satin; metallic threads, chenille, sequins, applied glass paste
Dimensions: Height (Including train): 84 5/8 in. (215 cm)
Length (of train): 41 3/4 in. (106 cm)
Classification: Main dress-Womenswear
Credit Line: Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto (925.18.3.A–B)
Showing the refinement of French eighteenth-century court dress, this richly embellished ball gown was a luxury few could afford. The metallic threads, sequins, and glass stones would have sparkled by candlelight. The petticoat, originally worn over a large pannier (but subsequently altered to a slimmer style), increased the volume and weight of the dress and, in combination with the train, made it difficult for the wearer to dance or move freely.
