I've spent over half of my life research clothing throughout history. From the middle ages through the 20th century, I've covered a lot of territory! I'm currently finishing up my master's degree in art history, and have made some exciting breakthroughs in the field of eighteenth century clothing, specifically about the chemise à reine, or chemise gown. What's so exciting about this particular dress? Well, for starters, it looks nothing like any other style of clothing worn up to the 1780s.
