Round Gown | c.1790 . . . The #Merveilleuses scandalized Paris with dresses and tunics modeled after the ancient Greeks and Romans, cut of light or even transparent linen and gauze. Sometimes so revealing they were termed "woven air", many gowns displayed cleavage and were too tight to allow pockets. To carry even a handkerchief, the ladies had to use small bags known as reticules.[3] They were fond of wigs, often choosing blonde because the Paris Commune had banned blonde wigs, but they also wore them in black, blue, and green. Enormous hats, short curls like those on Roman busts, and Greek-style sandals were the rage. The sandals tied above the ankle with crossed ribbons or strings of pearls. Exotic and expensive scents fabricated by perfume houses like Parfums Lubin were worn as both for style and as indicators of social station. Thérésa Tallien, known as "Our Lady of Thermidor", wore expensive rings on the toes of her bare feet and gold circlets on her legs. #BastilleDay #FrenchRevolution #stripes #vivelafrace #🇫🇷 #fashionhistory #costume #costumehistory #18thcenturystyle #18thcenturyfashion #historicalfashion #historicfashion #whattheywore #stylehistory #frenchfashion #lafêtenationale #le14juillet #roundgown #libertéégalitéfraternité #lacma (at Bastille)

Man’s Shirt, Trousers and Woman's Jacket, Petticoat |c.1790 - An example of the style of clothing worn by the working class around the time of the French Revolution, characterized by the long trousers worn by men, rather than the breeches. With the outbreak of the revolution in 1789, people began to use fashion as a means of expressing one’s ideology. The revolutionaries regarded luxurious and extravagant silk as the enemy of the revolution, replacing breeches and white silk stockings - the symbol of aristocracy - with the long trousers worn by the lower classes, in an attempt to distance themselves from the previous era. #kci #kyotocostumeinstitute #BastilleDay #FrenchRevolution #fichu #stripes #vivelafrace #🇫🇷 #fashionhistory #costume #costumehistory #18thcenturystyle #18thcenturyfashion #historicalfashion #historicfashion #whattheywore #stylehistory #frenchfashion #lafêtenationale #le14juillet #libertéégalitéfraternité (at Bastille)
