A rare Robe à la Française found in the latest episode of Antiques Roadshow on the BBC. Painted silk in great condition, can you guess how much it was appraised for? Don't cheat by looking at the full clip on the BBC Antiques Roadshow facebook page before you guess. Play along and check the full clip after you guess 😊 I really hope it ends up in a museum. #antiquesroadshow#historicalgarments #1770s #1700sfashion #sackbackgown #vestidoalafrancesa #robeàlafrançaise #pleats #costume #vintagecostume #historicalfashion #historicalcostuming #stylehistory #sewing #costumehistory #historicalsewing #fashionstatement #fashionhistory #fashiongram #moda #historiadelamoda #vintage #periodclothing #vintagefashion #18thcenturyfashion #sigloxviii #batadelsigloxviii #bata #pliegues #tewkesburyabbey
