Woman's Dress

During these times, woman’s dresses had become looser, flowy and colorful after the death of Louis XIV. This new fashion reflects the cultural shift and transition from baroque to rococo, a period known for their exuberant style.

The second type the skirt had a V-shaped on the front under a petticoat, with some cushions and adorned skirts forming into a two piece dress, this last design was more favored on Spain while the first type was predominantly seen in the rest of Europe.
