Habit á la Francaise for a Lady


As it was common in the 18th century, ladies loved to wear mans´clothes either for travelling or at events, where the sexes changed their fashion.



Looking at this suit, one will notice the impressing blend of colours, such as the champagne waistcoat and cuffs and the ruby red silk satin.
The robe is heavily embroidered by hand.


The magnificent wardrobes of King Gustaf III of Sweden and his brother gave the inspiration for this suit.
