An over-robe, in this case a transparent over garment, was a fashionable accessory for evening or walking wear. Made of gauze or sarcenet, it often had an embroidered or painted border. The garment later developed into the pelisse, an outdoor jacket. Robes of silk brocade or jacquard with long trains might be worn to court as late as the 1820’s. It can be made in various lengths, and it may be rounded or square in front.
