Redingote or Great-Coat Dress, anonymous, c. 1786 - c. 1789 Canvas Print
Gown or 'redingote' of moss green and soft pink silk, consisting of a gown with open skirt (a) and a skirt (b) embroidered with lily of the valleys. This gown was worn on 18 October 1881 by Louise Six (1862-1934) for a tableau vivant on the occasion of the silver wedding of her uncle and aunt Six-Teding van Berkhout. The dress most likely came from the family of Louise's mother, d'Ablaing van Giessenburg. In the Six Collection (inv. Six 50835, bnd. 31) there is a picture of the tableaux, on which Louk (Louise) sits on the far left with her right hand on the keys of the piano. She wears a thin fichu in the low neckline with a rose in the middle of the front. On the tightly combed hair with a parting in the middle, a hat and under the cuffs a wrinkled strip. At the bottom of the skirt is a wrinkled strip of a translucent material (batist?, gaze-de-lisse?). At the Casinobal (Keizersgracht 464, A'dam) of 28 February 1896 Louk Blaauw (now married to Frans E. Blaauw) wore the gown again. The Six Collection has a carte-de-visite by Th. Bruggemann from Amsterdam, who on the evening itself took photos of the guests present (R.M. nec. 15209 9/12). This time the neck is uncovered, but a large collar with ruffle and drooping points - which are knotted on the chest in the middle front - lies over the lapel. A wrinkled strip is placed along the front parts and also above the skirt hem. On the curled hair a tuf on the back of the head and in the right hand an 18th century fan.
