Rijksmuseum Roulette<p>Redingote or Great-Coat Dress, anonymous, c. 1786 - c. 1789<br>The origin of the redingote lies in long men’s coats with a cutaway front, the riding coat. It is a striking example of the influence men’s fashion exerted on women’s fashion. A redingote for ladies consisted of an overcoat or gown, and a loose skirt in a contrasting colour, which enhanced the coat-like effect. Olive green and pale pink were a popular combination at the end of the 18th century.</p><p>Gift of Jonkvrouw C.I.
