It is open at the front with a high waist and shaped elbow-length sleeves.  The gown is made of 4 widths of wool, the 2 centre pieces forming the back and the 2 side pieces forming the fronts and side backs.  Each front has 3 pleats, running from the diagonal 'shoulder' seam at the back, over the shoulder to the waist, beside the armhole seams.  At the back, there are 3 sets of inverted pleats at the waist, the fabric trimmed away on the inside.  The bodice fronts are made of narrow, triangular pieces of white silk satin.  The bodice and sleeves are lined with linen, with boning in the lining on either side of the centre back seam, and either side of the side-back seams.  The gown is trimmed with rust-coloured silk gimp woven in interlocking loops, down the front openings, around the neck, the sleeve openings and the bodice front edges.   The side back seam is trimmed with a poplin-covered button (missing on the left side). The bodice fronts fasten with two hooks (these may be a later replacement) and thread bars.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"wool (textile)","id":"AAT243430"},{"text":"silk (textile)","id":"AAT243428"},{"text":"linen (material)","id":"AAT14069"}],"techniques":[{"text":"hand weaving","id":"AAT53643"},{"text":"satin weave","id":"x37324"},{"text":"hand sewing","id":"AAT257459"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Wool, silk, linen, silk thread, linen thread; hand-woven, satin weave, hand sewn","categories":[{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"},{"text":"Womenswear","id":"THES49044"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2015HT2301","2015HT2302","2015HT2303"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"011","id":"THES307019"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Gown","id":"AAT46161"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"weaving","id":"AAT53642"},"note":"textile"},{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"sewing","id":"AAT53658"},"note":"gown"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1790s","earliest":"1790-01-01","latest":"1799-12-31"},"association":{"text":"weaving","id":"AAT53642"},"note":"textile"},{"date":{"text":"1795 - 1799","earliest":"1795-01-01","latest":"1799-12-31"},"association":{"text":"sewing","id":"AAT53658"},"note":"gown"}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"174.0","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"shoulder to hem at centre back","note":""},{"dimension":"Circumference","value":"87.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"bust under armholes","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"39.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"wool, selvedge to selvedge","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Displayed in Costume Court, 1962-1979.\r\n\r\nPurchased.
