Robe à la piémontaise
Not on view
A robe à la piémontaise is a variant of the basic robe à la française, except that the rear pleats, instead of being attached, float freely from the neckline to the center back. The style is named after a princess of the House of Savoy who wore a gown of this type in Lyons in 1755. Another rare example of this style is in the Rocamora Collection, Barcelona.
