Robe à la Turque
I impulse-purchased this vintage striped satin from a friend because it reminded me of the iconic self-portrait by Rose-Adelaide Ducreux.
Dress: Petticoat, false front, sash, and sleeves are polyester taffeta from Mood (it's so good you can barely tell it's not silk!). I modified the JP Ryan Robe à l'Anglaise pattern to add the cutaway button front and 2-layer sleeves. Trims and tassels are from India. Fichu and sleeve ruffles are silk organza.
Wig: Styled by me.
