The Robe De C - The Most Formal Dress For Ladies
When I was a kid I used to read the books about the Princess Diana and the late Prince Charles.robe de cérémonie pas cher While there was much debate about what they actually did in their relationship, most people agreed that they were devoted to each other and loved each other deeply. One of the things that always struck me was that when Diana died in a car crash while they were together, the first thing Charles did was to go visit his wife’s family. There were no euphemisms, no “in-laws,” no “ex-wife.” They simply went to visit her parents and siblings and be with them. That was the kind of love and devotion a child could understand and respect.
During the 18th century, ladies wore a dress called a robe de c.robe de cérémonie pas cher It was the most formal gown worn. It was based on the earlier dress style known as the Grand Habit, or full dress.
Robes de c were often worn to ceremonial events in the presence of a monarch.robe de cérémonie pas cher They were usually white or black, and worn over a chemise or other undergarment. They had a long train and were fitted at the back. They were also worn with a wide pannier understructure, which was the latest fashion in Europe at this time.
The neckline of a robe de c was very low, and there were very short sleeves with lace on them. The sleeve pattern and the arrangement of lace changed from decade to decade, so that can help date portraits. This is a portrait of Henriette, a daughter of Louis XV, who was born in 1727. She is wearing a robe de c and it looks like she has lace sleeves with rows of stiff, pleated lace.
A variation on the robe de c was the round gown, which became very popular in the 1770s to the 1790s. It was similar to the robe a la Francaise, except the skirt and petticoat were sewn as one piece and closed in the back. It is usually referred to as a round gown in English and a Robe a la Turque in French.
The dress worn by Claire in season 8 of Outlander is a robe a la Turque, but it’s not quite the same as the one from the Kyoto Costume Institute. It has a lot of similarities to the Emerald Robe, but it is more fitted in the bodice and has less inverted box pleats in the skirt. It still has the piped edge along the bodice and the cartridge pleated skirt, though. The only other difference is that Claire’s has a lace overlay, which would have been popular on a robe a la Turque.
