Rococo women's clothing at the V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum, London)

Stays, 1780-90, Britain
Linen, reinforced with whalebone

Woman's Banyan, 1750-70, Britain
Silk damask (1740s, in the style of Anna Maria Garthwaite)

Woman's embroidered gown. fabric c. 1740-60, made up c. 1780
The floral fabric is so finely embroidered that at first sight it could be mistaken for a printed design.

Chintz caraco and petticoat, c. 1770-80
Cotton, resist- and mordant dyed

Chintz gown, c. 1780
Cotton, resist- and mordant-dyed, overprinted with gold spots, fabric from South-east India, made in Holland. The printed gold spot pattern would have been applied to an adhesive, probably gum arabic, after the chintz fabric had been painted and dyed.
If you take a careful look at the front bodice portion, you will probably notice two things; first, the front is heavily pieced; and second, the tabs are missing on one side of the front waist.

Sack-back gown (Robe à la Francaise), 1774-5, Britain
Silk chiné velvet

Pink stays, waistcoat, stocking and shoes
(As all of these were so close to each other in this display, I thought it would be a good idea to leave them that way; nevertheless, I will give descriptions for each of them. The waistcoat and stocking are also displayed on the men's clothing page.)

Pink silk stays, 1660-70
Watered silk, linen, whalebone and silk ribbons

Waistcoat, 1710-20
Silk damask lined with fustian and silk

Man's linen stocking, 1660-1670
Linen embroidered with silk
You don't even have to look too careful to see the grainline of the linen fabric in this stocking, which, obviously, is cut on the bias to allow stretching. Also note the triple lacings, of which only one is currently having a lacing cord inserted.

 

Three shoes:
Red shoe, 1670-1680; white slipper, 1660-1680, leather with silk, embroidered in silk; and green shoe, c. 1710

Woman's riding jacket, 1750-60, Britain
Camlet (silk and camel hair) with silver braid

Court Mantua, 1775-85
Silk satin embroidered with chenille (French)
The man's suit can be seen on the men's clothing page, the other white-golden dress is on the Regency clothing page. Note that the floral patterns on this gown are all hand embroidered. Not two are the same.
I am sorry, as much as I wanted to, it was impossible for me to photograph the front of this mantua due to its placement.

Mantua or Court dress, 1740-45
This mantua and petticoat represent the greatest style of court dress.
Silk embroidered with colored silk and silver thread

Fans and spinning wheel

 

Contact: Please write to naergilien@yahoo.de with the word "Costume" in the subject line. My mail server will delete all mails automatically that don't have this word in the subject line; except if you are on my whitelist (which you are probably not if I have never written to you).
It may take me some days to answer - please be patient. If I shouldn't answer within a week, it's almost safe to say that I didn't receive your mail (for what reason ever) - in that case please resend it.

All images of my costumes and also the tutorial pictures as well as the descriptions of my work and various techniques on this site are copyrighted to me.
So don't take my pictures for publishing (e.g. other websites, books etc.; no matter if they are commercial or not) without asking me before you do so and especially not without getting my permission to do this.
My server is mostly set up in a way that it doesn't allow hot linking on images; so if you need to link to me, please link to one of my sites (hint: that's everything ending with ".htm" or "html" in your browser's address bar) on which you found the picture that you would like to link to.

All images of paintings or original movie costumes were not taken by me (except if stated so) and are on this site for educational purposes.
As far as I could, I have credited the original photographers and/or their sites or have mentioned from where I have scanned certain pictures. They remain property of their respective owners.

Kontakt: Bitte schreibt an naergilien@yahoo.de mit dem Wort 'Costume' in der Betreffzeile. Die Mailbox ist so eingerichtet, daß sie alle Mails, die nicht diesen Betreff haben und deren Versender auch nicht auf meiner Whitelist stehen, erst einmal löscht.
Es kann einige Tage dauern, bis ich Euch antworten kann - bitte habt Geduld. Wenn ich nicht innerhalb einer Woche antworte, so habe ich Eure Mail wahrscheinlich nicht erhalten (aus welchem Grunde auch immer) - in diesem Fall schickt sie bitte einfach nochmal los.

Klaut meine Bilder also nicht, um sie zu veröffentlichen (sei das nun in Druck- oder Filmmedien, auf privaten oder geschäftlichen Webseiten etc) ohne mich vorher zu fragen, ob das in Ordnung ist und natürlich nicht, ohne von mir dann die Erlaubnis zu bekommen.
Mein Server ist größtenteils so eingerichtet, daß er den meisten Seiten keinen direkten Link auf Bilder hier erlaubt. Wollt ihr also unbedingt ein Bild von mir irgendwo verlinken, so verlinkt die Seite, auf der sich das Bild befindet (Hinweis: Eine 'Seite' ist in diesem Falle etwas, das in der Adreßzeile Eures Browsers mit 'htm' oder 'html' endet).

Alle Fotos von Gemälden (außer, wenn von mir selber gemacht) und originalen Filmkleidern (gleichfalls) befinden sich zu Studienzwecken in meinem Web. Soweit ich konnte, habe ich die ursprünglichen Quellen, Seiten oder Fotografen der Bilder genannt. Diese Bilder sind Eigentum ihrer Besitzer.
