Dress #032: Robe à la française in pale green flowers Sloth Or perhaps Phryne Fisher woreThe dress is made from chiyogami (Japanese paper), and is hand stitched on cold pressed 100% cotton paper. The design is based on an English gown from the 1760s, held by the Victoria & Albert Museum (accession T. 60 1934); the style is known as a robe la franaise.
