HISTORICAL COSTUMERS I NEED YOUR HELP ! (TL;DR : what does this dress look like from the front ?)
What would this dress (from 1794) look like from the front ? Or IRL ? The ruffled collar makes me think of "chemise à la reine" but the bodice and sleeves are more like a "robe à la turque" (which I've never seen a high-waisted version before) Here are a few pics of dresses with similar shape :
(1784) Notice the ruffled collar with the bow and the ribbon around the waist. Still, the triangular part of the bodice is missing !
(1791?) Here we have the bow on the collar, the high waist with the ribbon and the sleeves are vaguely similar but it's still not it..
(1782) I think this one is very close. Bow on the collar, triangular bodice, sleeves, but it's still missing the high waist and the ruffles.. Although there is a white layer peeking that's very similar to the ruffles.
(1786) Last but not least, this portrait of Marie-Antoinette has the ruffles, the triangular bodice, somewhat similar sleeves, but it lacks the ribbon around the waist (as in completely around the bodice, it seems like there's something tied at the waist but it's going under the outer layer), the bow on the collar, and the sleeves could definitly be better. However, the waist is pretty high for a robe à la turque.
Anyway, that's what I found, I hope someone can bring a bit of clarity as to what does the 1794 half-mourning dress look like ?

What historians don't want you to know: the real reason the Directoire fell was because of their horrible fashion.

The perfect spring wardrobe according to a fashion consultant named Tobe, on March 8, 1936. These imports (from the Elsie Cobin collection from Paris) are, left to right: Morning, a Schiaparelli silk tweed fringed suit; a Vionnet-red sleeveless redingote over a black cape-dress; Tea, a Robert Piguet black and white cape ensemble; evening, a printed taffeta tunic dress by Mainbocher; All Day (seated) a Mainbocher petticoat frock with a candy-striped taffeta petticoat and a Schiaparelli Directoire reefer; Cocktails, an Alix suit dress, with a red checked organza peplum jacket.

Illustration by Ignaz Marcel Gaugengigl. I think it’s a muscadin.
The Incroyables wore eccentric outfits: large earrings, green jackets, wide trousers, huge neckties, thick glasses, and hats topped by "dog ears", their hair falling on their ears. They wore bicorne hats and carried distinctive knobbled bludgeons or canes, which they referred to as their "executive power." Hair was often shoulder-length, sometimes pulled up in the back with a comb to imitate the hairstyles of the condemned. Some sported large monocles. They frequently affected a lisp, allegedly to avoid the letter "R" as in revolution, and sometimes a stooped, hunchbacked posture or slouch

Well, I think I’ve posted most of the photos from my session at Boys Will Be Girls in December 2022.
So, I thought I’d sign off for now with this close up of my personalised Touchable stockings which I was wearing over a pair of Gio naturals - giving that extra slippery, swishy feel.
A glimpse of my peppermint green directoire knickers - so old fashioned, but such deliciously generous silky coverage.
And I love the wrinkles!
