Dear Nicole,
One of my favourite fashion prints from J.D. de Saint- Jean woman walking
with a light neckerchief on her head and a parasol, is a beautifull summer
mantua made from striped fabric. The stripes are made in the vertical
direction, but the bottom is horizontal. Made by ankles. My book doesnt give
a year, but i would say late 1680ies- 90

Subject: [h-cost] Striped petticoats in the late 17th/early 18th centuries?
I wonder if anyone knows about any possible significance of wearing striped
petticoats. Or even just simply of evidence, in whatever form.
I am surprised to see a striped petticoat (vertical) on a c. 1690s dummy.
I'm just trying to make sense of it and possibly get a better dating as
well.
Thanks!
Nicole
