Narrow white dress of sheer cotton mull, probably from India, and with sheer short sleeves, extra wide neckline, vertical white embroidery which was very fashionable at the time. &nbsp;The cotton fabric was probably imported from India already embroidered with heavy white cotton thread in transparent mull. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, this sort of dress was&nbsp;considered shocking and immodest after the wider hooped dresses of the eighteenth century. This style of dress was worn by most women in Jane Austen&#8217;s time, but only the wealthy could afford the best quality mull. &nbsp;Vertical white embroidery was very fashionable in the early 1800s, with the sheer cotton mull probably imported from India already embroidered with this heavy white cotton thread. These daring items of clothing copied the Grecian idea of loosely draped clothing and were the first of many changes to women\u2019s outfits. Heavy fabrics were abandoned, especially in summer, in favor of lighter materials that allowed women to move about easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the museum curator: &nbsp;&#8220;On December 24, 1803, Jerome Bonaparte (1784\u20141860), brother of Napoleon, wed Elizabeth Patterson (1785\u20141879) of Baltimore. The beautiful and fashionable young American was married in a dress of muslin and lace that, according to a contemporary, &#8220;would fit easily into a gentleman&#8217;s pocket.&#8221;&nbsp; Although originally thought to have been Patterson&#8217;s wedding dress, the formal gown illustrated here probably dates from 1804, when this type of vertical white embroidery became fashionable. Napoleon had the marriage annulled in 1805. Jerome was made king of Westphalia in 1807 and he married the princess of Wurttemberg. Elizabeth, banned from France by the emperor, remained in Baltimore with her son, Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte (1805\u20141870). <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/81135\">Metropolitan Museum, New York City, USA.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"507\" height=\"700\" data-id=\"25464\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1804-1805_ca_White-GownFrench_Front-View_Vertical-embroidery-down-front-of-white-cotton-transparent-mull-dress-with-long-train-short-square-bodice-short-puffed-sleeves_metmuseum_Sml.jpg\" alt=\"1804-1805 ca.

My books range from sexy to erotic, late 1700s to the mid 1800s, and with a dash of Australia thrown into the mix. My heroes and heroines challenge tradition and my stories often expose the seamier levels of life. I now live in a sunny part of Australia after spending many years in developing countries in the South Pacific. My greatest loves are traveling, anywhere and everywhere, meeting crazy characters, and visiting the Australian outback.

Vertical white embroidery was very fashionable in the early 1800s, with the sheer cotton mull probably imported from India already embroidered with this heavy white cotton thread. These daring items of clothing copied the Grecian idea of loosely draped clothing and were the first of many changes to women\u2019s outfits. Heavy fabrics were abandoned, especially in summer, in favor of lighter materials that allowed women to move about easier. via Metropolitan Museum New York City, U.S.A. metmuseum.org"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?p=23526#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"1804\u20131805 ca.

My books range from sexy to erotic, late 1700s to the mid 1800s, and with a dash of Australia thrown into the mix.
