Step back in time and immerse yourself in the extravagant world of 18th-century fashion. From the elegant gowns worn by La reine Charlotte to the stunning portraits capturing the essence of this era, every detail tells a story. In an enchanting engraving, we see La reine Charlotte, Sophia-Charlotte, exuding regal grace. Her attire showcases intricate embroidery and delicate lace that epitomize the opulence of this period. Marie-Jeanne Buzeau's skillful brushstrokes on Catherine Greene's oil painting transport us to a lavish ballroom where ladies adorned themselves with exquisite silk dresses. The portrait of Jane Hoskyns captures her timeless beauty as she dons an ensemble that perfectly embodies 18th-century style. Nathaniel Hurd's masterful use of color and texture brings out every intricate detail, from the ruffled sleeves to the ornate corset made from woollen damask and linen. Speaking of corsets, these undergarments were not only fashionable but also essential for achieving the desired silhouette. The corset displayed here is a testament to craftsmanship; its woolen damask fabric whispers tales of meticulous handiwork. Marie-Antoinette graces us with her presence in a chromolithograph portrait adorned with roses – symbols of love and beauty. Her elaborate gown reflects her status as Queen consort and sets new trends for women across Europe. Colonel Thomas Stanley stands tall in his military uniform painted by an unknown artist between 1779-1810. His impeccable tailoring demonstrates how men too embraced fashion during this era. Not limited to formal occasions alone, housecoats like those made from cotton and silk allowed women to relax without compromising their elegance. These garments blended comfort with sophistication effortlessly. Lastly, "No Sir, I've Never Been afraid of a sans culotte" depicts humorously dressed individuals through vibrant lithography created around 1902.
