Das ehemals in kräftigerem Rot zu denkende Kleid besitzt anstelle eines andersfarbigen Steckers einen materialgleichen Brusteinsatz (Compère). Der Manteau endet in einer Schleppe. Entlang der Vorderkanten nehmen Zierstreifen mit plastischem Seidendekor das Wellenrankenmotiv des Webmusters auf.

A fashion-motif of the 18th century is the so-called robe à la française that developed out of French courtly dress, and which comprised a hoop-petticoat, narrow waist, and loosely falling train at the back. The multipart gown consists of an overcoat-like manteau, open at the front; a skirt, or jupe, worn underneath; and over the top, as desired, an interchangeable decorative stomacher. The décolleté and half-length sleeves were inset with lace, which unfortunately very seldom survives in the original. (text from Treasures of German art and history)
