The 18th century satisfied the Make over in pair of coatdresses, some of snug dark leather with hip flanges/pocket covers, the other in sugar Loro Piana textile along with bodice lacing at the princess or queen seams to the waist and also down the back, along with panniered hips and a fuller dress.
