MADE TO ORDER 18th Century Chintz Wrapper
Wrapping gowns and banyans made from fashionable Dutch Chintz were all the rage amongst the upper classes in the 18th century, for “undress” (informal) wear at home amongst family and to receive close friends as guests.
For a relatively simple garment, they have a very high WOW factor and were extremely fashionable!
The price of fabric not included – you’ll want to budget upwards of £100 for reproduction Dutch Chintz. I can buy directly from source in the Netherlands for you. Linings can vary: you could opt for silk taffeta as shown here but a fine cotton in a simple block-printed design would also be period correct depending on the motifs and scale.
Pleated cuffs as shown here are optional for an additional £50 and this look can be achieved a number of different ways.
