1770s Floral Cotton Fabric – Robe à la Française

This delicate floral design is inspired by textile patterns documented in the Fashion History Timeline (1770–1779). The scattered flowers and fine dotted background reflect the light and elegant style typical of late 18th-century printed cottons.

Such fabrics were commonly used for fashionable gowns of the period, especially the robe à la française, where the flowing skirts allowed the floral motifs to appear beautifully across the garment.

Suitable for:

  • Robe à la française

  • Robe à l’anglaise

  • Petticoats and stomachers

  • Historical costume and reenactment

A charming 18th-century inspired fabric design, ideal for historical sewing projects and period dressmaking.




Fanny de Beauharnais, born Marie-Anne-Françoise Mouchard in Paris 1737, was a French intellectual, playwright and salon hostess. She was a member of the literary academies Académie des Arcades and Académie de Lyon.
