Worn by Helena Slicher at her marriage to Aelbrecht Baron van Slingelandt in 1759, the gown features a large, voluminous skirt, supported by extensive panniers—hoops placed at the sides of the hips. Notably, this garment combines elements from two distinct court dress styles. The bodice, with its trailing 'tail,' adheres to the English court fashion, resembling a traditional mantua, while the flowing train is more characteristic of continental European trends. The train, made from light blue grosgrain silk, forms part of a wedding ensemble. It is shaped in a simple two-lane straight design with rounded corners. The lower portion of the train is lined with smooth, calendered white linen, offering a subtle contrast to the delicately embroidered floral scrolls that adorn the fabric. The exaggerated shape, fashionable at the time, was a dramatic visual effect, emphasising grandeur and elegance.
