| Ladies Gowns: Polonaise gown has a fitted bodice which either laces closed over a lightly boned reversible stomacher (triangular shaped insert), or is held closed with pins. See Eighteenth Century Clothing at Williamsburg, by Linda Baumgarten. This can be a very plain everyday gown or a very fancy silk ball gown.
Note: The Polonaise gowns should be worn with stays and pocket hoops for the correct 18th Century look.
