Silk – Serenity Sunday: Sharing one of my favorites – a 1790s Robe a L’Anglaise of cream silk taffeta “two-layered “compères” front with buttons; matching trim; black lace decoration at front bodice and cuffs; wine-colored ribbon lacing at cuffs; matching petticoat; fichu at neck.” Note also striped sash with metal buckle & painted porcelain center. *Wistful sigh* From the Kyoto Costume Institute | Facebook
