Marie Antoinette Watteau Sacque Back Gown with 4 foot train is commonly called the Robe de Francais in European countries. As I made this gown, I thought how innovative of the dressmakers during the 18th century. The gown has eyelets lacing down the neck to waist. The lacing down the back adjusts to create more room around the torso area.The eyelets and drawstring are hidden behind the sacque back train. The velvet damask flocked patterns are all symmetrical on both sides of the gown. The gown is 46 inches wide across the waist, and wider at the hemline.
This gown can be purchased from my etsy.com store .Gown will fit a 36 to 38 bust, and can be let out at the sides. Neck to waist is 16.75. waist to hemline is 45 inches. Gown is ideal for reenactments, Marie Antoinette events, Colonial, French colonial,Bastille Day,Venice Carnival, Mardi Gras, Waltz, Ball,cosplay, opera,theatre,drama and movie productions, and more.
