Discoveries in Gallery of Fashion
- Waist went up to just under the bust in 1794
- First appearance of crossover-front robe in November 1795
- First spencers in May 1796
- Waist goes up higher in the back than in the front in early 1796
- Waists go back down in back in May 1797
- Start seeing less volume in the front in March 1798, volume decreased overall in September 1798, and again in April 1800
- Waist drops a bit in September 1798, a bit more around June 1799
Things I'm Leaning Toward:
- "short full sleeves" (short meaning to the elbow, interestingly - they don't seem to be shorter than that unless it's a double-sleeve situation) drawn in with a ribbon, maybe
- chain pattern of embroidery around the hem, or this trim:
