The robe a la francaise that Madam de Pompadour wears is probably my favorite style of dress to sew and to wear, and I go into details into the techniques used to make and trim a gown such as the one in this epic portrait.

Please note that I am a Baby Lock Ambassador. I do use the @Baby Lock Sewing Machines Soprano sewing machine, Valiant Embroidery Machine and the Victory Serger.
