Habit of a Lady of Quality in France

by Thomas Jefferys

The hand-colored print that appears in Thomas Jefferys’ important book from 1757, entitled A Collection of the Dresses of Different Nations, gives a rather refined insight into the height of French elegance in the 18th century. This particular engraving is titled "Habit of a Lady of Quality in France," and it presents the elegant silhouette of a lady that is associated with the French aristocracy.

During the mid-18th century, France was the absolute hub of fashion trends around the world. The term "Lady of Quality" refers not only to her social status but also her importance as an advertisement for the artistry of Parisian seamstresses. The illustration showcases the evolution of the style called Robe à la Française, with its voluminous silhouette and "echelles" descending from the bodice.
