The gown is in the English (tight-back) style, open at the front with elbow-length sleeves and double, scalloped sleeve ruffles.  The pleated robings extend to the waist.  The bodice and sleeves are lined with linen; the sleeves weighted with lead.  The pleats at the back are stitched down; the skirt finely pleated into the waist seam.   The gown is made of 4 widths of silk, with a partial width and triangular gore making up each the skirt fronts, curving up at the hem. The pleats are held in place with loose stitching about 4 cm below the waistseam. Applied in a straight line down the front of the skirts is  a ruching of the striped silk, alterating pleats with padded bows, and edged with a woven lace (braid) of white and green silk gimp with maroon floss silk. A simpler version without the padded bows adorns the robings and neck.  The sleeve ruffles with a bow of the silk fabric, both edged with the silk gimp.\n\nThe petticoat is made of 6 widths of silk. A narrow white silk ribbon binds the hem.  It has a box pleat at the centre front waist and flat pleats at the side and back, where it fastens.  The waist is bound with a linen tape, forming the tie fastening.  The front of the petticoat is decorated with a deep flounce of the striped silk, edged with the silk gimp, arranged in a serpentine line.  Below it is a narrowing ruching with padded sections, also in a serpentine line.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silk (textile)","id":"AAT243428"},{"text":"linen (material)","id":"AAT14069"},{"text":"silk thread","id":"x30127"},{"text":"linen thread","id":"x35336"},{"text":"wool (hair)","id":"AAT14074"},{"text":"lead","id":"AAT11022"}],"techniques":[{"text":"hand weaving","id":"AAT53643"},{"text":"hand sewing","id":"AAT257459"},{"text":"passementerie","id":"THES262875"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silk, linen, silk thread, linen thread, wool, lead; hand-woven, hand-sewn","categories":[{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Womenswear","id":"THES49044"},{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2015HM2076","2015HM2075","2015HM2077"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"022","id":"THES310751"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"006","id":"THES310735"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Gown","id":"AAT46161"}],[{"text":"Petticoat","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Spitalfields","id":"x29420"},"association":{"text":"weaving","id":"AAT53642"},"note":"textile"},{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"sewing","id":"AAT53658"},"note":"gown & petticoat"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1770 - 1775","earliest":"1770-01-01","latest":"1775-12-31"},"association":{"text":"weaving","id":"AAT53642"},"note":"textile"},{"date":{"text":"1770 - 1775","earliest":"1770-01-01","latest":"1775-12-31"},"association":{"text":"sewing","id":"AAT53658"},"note":"gown & petticoat"}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Eric Bullivant, Esq.","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Width","value":"48.0","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"silk, selvedge to selvedge","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"29","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approximate","date":{"text":"17/11/2025","earliest":"2025-11-17","latest":"2025-11-17"},"part":"across shoulders","note":""},{"dimension":"Circumference","value":"72","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approximate","date":{"text":"17/11/2025","earliest":"2025-11-17","latest":"2025-11-17"},"part":"bust","note":""},{"dimension":"Circumference","value":"64","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approximate","date":{"text":"17/11/2025","earliest":"2025-11-17","latest":"2025-11-17"},"part":"waist (gown)","note":""},{"dimension":"Length","value":"33","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approximate","date":{"text":"17/11/2025","earliest":"2025-11-17","latest":"2025-11-17"},"part":"nape of neck to waist","note":""},{"dimension":"Length","value":"99","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approximate","date":{"text":"17/11/2025","earliest":"2025-11-17","latest":"2025-11-17"},"part":"waist to hem at skirt front (gown)","note":""},{"dimension":"Length","value":"127","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approximate","date":{"text":"17/11/2025","earliest":"2025-11-17","latest":"2025-11-17"},"part":"waist to hem skirt back (gown)","note":""},{"dimension":"Circumference","value":"73","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approximate","date":{"text":"17/11/2025","earliest":"2025-11-17","latest":"2025-11-17"},"part":"waist (petticoat)","note":""},{"dimension":"Length","value":"86.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"17/11/2025","earliest":"2025-11-17","latest":"2025-11-17"},"part":"length (petticoat)","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Measured by Conservation","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"A woman's gown and petticoat, 1770-75, English; Maroon and white striped silk tobine, green & blue flowers, Spitalfields","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["T.164-1964","T.164A-1964"],"accessionNumberNum":"164","accessionNumberPrefix":"T","accessionYear":1964,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE","Gown","Petticoat"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2026-03-27","recordCreationDate":"2009-06-24","availableToBook":false}}
