The front of this dress, no longer with lace bertha, modesty piece, or engageantes and, probably, stomacher panel or decorative bodice panel, has a narrow train beginning at the neckline, making this a robe à la française. The plainness of the back contrasts strongly with the serpentine and puffed cloth ornaments in the front.
