Gown (fourreau) Frock or fourreau, Frock, fourreau, with a short body of blue / pink changing taffeta and a skirt of laize (machine lace) and ditto taffeta, embossed with multicolored flowers. Model: Single-length, sneaky model. The short body is bleeding over in a point at the center front. Laize skirt (machine lace with a width measurement) with a pattern of oval medallions and flowers on ribbons. On the back from the waist a wrinkled strip of crepe georgette that ends in a rosette with drag (?), trimmed around with a narrow open hem. Lined with white silk and white cotton inner body. Decoration: the neckline and sleeves are trimmed with narrow table-silk bands. The multicolored embroidery of floss and gold thread owes the relief to rosettes of floss silk loops through which thin iron thread (laiton?) Is twisted. Stem stitch, bobbin stitch and button stitch are used in embroidery work. From 1906 the Parisian couturier Paul Poiret (1879-1944) worked on a straight silhouette that would ideally make the corset superfluous. His sleek fourreaux in the Style Directoire and the Style Empire dominated the fashion scene around 1910. The dresses are then, as it were, divided into three. The plain-looking skirt is bordered above and below by the same fabric or embellishment. A long slip of contrasting color and material seems to be the 'only' connection between body and skirt hem and is applied to the back with this frock. The mechanical side of this dress is probably inspired by an eighteenth century example. The partially worked-up embroidery on the other hand follows the contemporary colors and fashion. As early as 1907, Poiret introduced embossed folkloric embroidery, Anna Maria du Mée, anonymous, Netherlands (possibly), c. 1910, geheel, borduurwerk, voeringrok, binnenlijfje, strook/sleep, embroidering, l cm × w cm w cm
