Lady in a Polish-style dress; 鈥楲ady in a Polish-style dress; in striped taffeta; ornamented with gauze; as she replaces her garter and reveals a beautiful leg'. [Description] This polonaise is useful for morning and country wear; being attractive; light and casual; the skirts can be lifted high and it is made of light Indian striped taffeta with a net flounce. The polonaise had an open corsage; and a skirt of three rounded panels; short at the side and long at the back. The hat is in the tambourine style; of the same material as the dress; with three rows of pearls; three rows of curls caress the ears; which should be uncovered when they are pretty.Image taken from Galerie des modes et costumes francais; dessines d'apres nature. 1778-1787.
