Round Gown

The evolution of the round gown in the 1790s saw a higher waistline that eventually reached under the bust, reflecting changing trends in fashion. The construction process for these gowns was complex and differed significantly from modern garment construction methods. The transitional nature of fashion during this period allowed for variations in construction techniques as long as they achieved the desired outcome.
