1782 Sophie Cottin - Crushed Roses

Historical Reproduction Fabric – Inspired by Marie-Antoinette’s 1782 Attire Records

This design is based on motifs documented in Gazette des atours de la Reine Marie-Antoinette (1782), the official register of the Queen’s gowns and textiles. The pattern captures the refined aesthetic of Versailles, where controlled stripes and soft ornamental forms defined elite dressmaking.

The updated colourway introduces a gentle, modern pink base with structured vertical contrasts — ideal for both historical and contemporary applications. Suitable for bodices, jackets, skirts, and coordinated accessories where a clean, high-impact stripe is needed.

Positioned as a premium option for makers seeking 18th-century authenticity with a lighter, versatile look.

Use cases:
Gowns · jackets · skirts · trims · historical costuming · couture-level projects

Named after Sophie Cottin (1770–1807), a French novelist whose romantic works enchanted 19th-century Europe — Claire d’Albe (1799), Malvina (1800), Amélie Mansfield (1802), Mathilde (1805), and Élisabeth ou Les exilés de Sibérie (1806) — this fabric pays homage to her spirit of imagination and sentiment.
