Robe à la Française • French • c. 1770 • Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rococo style embraced foreign styles with an inclusive, even rapacious eclecticism, but also with its own propensity to moderation and the small scale. During the period, Ikat, or warp-printed fabric, was modified to meet European taste. Saturated Eastern colors and bold geometrics became muted pastels in smaller floral and striped patterns characterizing many of the designs. – Metropolitan Museum of Art

Panniers or side hoops are women's undergarments worn in the 17th and 18th centuries to extend the width of the skirts at the side while leaving the front and back relatively flat. This provided a panel where woven patterns, elaborate decorations and rich embroidery could be displayed and fully appreciated. – Wikipedia

Jean Honoré Fragonard • The Swing • 1767 • The Wallace Collection, London

L'Année littéraire, 1783, on the switch between Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun's original portrait of Marie Antoinette in a muslin dress to a portrait with a more traditional court dress:

"It was noticed that the [portrait] of the queen, first exhibited at the Salon, was weak in tone and color. Madame le Brun has substituted another which has more effect; the graces and reputation of this august Princess are very well preserved."

Gazette des atours de Marie-Antoinette

A few images of the book. It's in two parts. One part being the reproduction of the Gazette itself, a book of fabric samples relating to the wardrobe of Marie Antoinette. The other part, only in French, goes into a little more detail about the Gazette and fashion of the time. And may take some time for me to go through because my French is atrocious.🙃

(Thanks to @vivelareine for pointing out this was on sale again!)
