Q:Thanks for keeping on the case of the people who post museum sources and don't cite them - it's poor etiquette for one thing, but also shows that they don't understand the huge amount of time, effort, and resources these often-underfunded and understaffed institutions put into making these images and information available to the public. Just ogling isn't good enough!
This, here, is the absolute truth.

Robe a la Polonaise | c. 1780-85 | American
It’s not a Robe a la Polonaise, it’s a Robe a l’anglaise that has been polonaised. There is a difference - a distinct one! Cite your sources - this is from the Met. Here’s the listing.

Watercolor portrait on ivory | Cincinnati Museum of Art
I love portraits on ivory. This one in particular is delicious.
Sometime in the 18th century some lucky girl wore this.
Gorgeous color, no?
Looks like a round gown, though I can’t tell for sure. But I’d bet on it - you can’t see a line of separate skirts.
