The Ornamented Being

This is something that I want for this weekend!
Heptagonal bag. French, about 1800

It’s from the MFA (43.1609) and is described as an: Old rose moiré silk panels on steel cockade frame. Cut steel rosettes at rivets. Steel turn-key closure. White ribbon on steel rings. White silk lining.

I feel bad that I posted sneak peeks of my ball gown on my facbook group and not here so I promise that will be up shortly.

c. 1804-1806

:D I wonder if the woman who wore this had a reticule in this shape to match the motif embroidered on her gown:
