Notes
Content: [From label:] "Dressed in a Watteau saque of taffeta (a white ground with crossbar lines of red) over a hooped petticoat of the same, trimmed with a pinked flounce. The stomacher is plain without a point, finished by robings of the silk from the shoulder to a little below the waistline. An apron of soft green silk is worn under the stomacher. The sleeves end at the elbow and are finished with graduated ruffles of the silk, pinked, very deep in the back and short in the front; a knot of red, the prevailing color of the costume, is on each sleeve and also in the hair, which was originally powdered and worn close to the head, probably in French curls. French slippers, with high heels, a necklace and bracelet complete this genuine fashion lady's attire. Presented to a child of Philadelphia by Mrs. John Penn, wife of the last Colonial-Governor of the Province of Pennsylvania. / Presented by Mrs. Bernard Henry. S. 35,001.
