Vintage Fashion: 18th Century 
You may have seen this English cream silk sack-back & petticoat made from a late 1730s mantua. (With alterations) Embroidered w/ polychrome silks & gold thread in floral motifs, the mix of architectural structures of particular note. Look closely, observe peonies sprouting from the roof of a ruined abbey, cottages dot the landscape & Chinoiserie details throughout. A magnificent composition referencing the current style of English painting & importance of landscape. @Victoria Brown and Albert Museum
