A lady in morning d茅shabille; 鈥楢 lady in morning d茅shabille; lounging on a sofa; playing with her dog'. [Description] A Polish style caraco; it requires a good figure to carry this off. A cape can be added but this detracts from its lightness. The sky-blue taffeta is tied with a rosette which serves as a satisfaction (a suggestive term to denote the bow or fastening at the breast). The lady is waiting to get dressed; or for an assignation.Image taken from Galerie des modes et costumes francais; dessines d'apres nature. 1778-1787. Reimpression accompagnee d'une preface parM.
