oh the things you find wasting time on pinterest

I think this is a really beautiful gown. But I've never seen anything quite like it! It's such a transition piece, the auction catalogue lists it as a sack back, but the pleats are sewn down fully half the way down the back. And I don't think I've seen anything quite like those front straps on a Robe Francaise before. 



Anyway I thought some of you might find it as interesting as I did. Very pretty too!
