Ages ago I came across a reference to "peaked high stomachers" being worn with polonaises, and then there's <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/collections/search-the-collections/83485?img=1" rel="nofollow">this weird française and its weird stomacher</a> - it's on my list to try out the style. There's so much variation in the 1780s, it's amazing!Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596345781746342408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848073453811666225.post-5506000132274264282014-01-24T13:22:12.097-05:002014-01-24T13:22:12.097-05:00Dear Cassidy,
Oh, how interesting!!! The text nam...Dear Cassidy,<br /><br />Oh, how interesting!!! The text names the jacket first a Pierrot, and then a caraco. Same garment. Plus, that the fabric underneath the open part of the jacket is a stomacher!!!!!! <br /><br />The pierrot appears to be imitating men's styles with the deep, high cutaway effect.<br /><br />Plus, just like the old stomacher style, I would guess, and pinned in place, but instead of an upward vee, it faces downwards!<br /><br />Omigoodness, is this truly what I am reading? If so, then making such jackets is suddenly much easier. (Although the Internet has lately circulated a yellow dress that imitates the Pierrot effect with trim only: it's really just an anglaise.)<br /><br />Very best,<br /><br />Natalie<br />ZipZiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088551086336264968noreply@blogger.com
