helwenI like the Polonaise, but would a woman wearing a dress of this style be spinning or weaving?
Apparently preferred fabric choices for this style would be wool or silk. I could see it with wool, but silk, not so much. Cotton was also in use in the 1770s, and still pre-abolitionist so no complications there... but would cotton have been used for a Polonaise?
