The déshabillé style appeared in France under Louis XIV. It was an informal dress for the bedroom, vaguely reminiscent of women's underwear (shirt). Many people liked the sensuality inherent in this outfit, although there were enough opponents of this fashion.
The beauty of style
Disabilty is a dress that gives the impression that the lady is not quite dressed. Freely falling and relaxed, such home clothes became synonymous with privacy of the bedroom, but nevertheless it could be used for more public appearances. The beauty of the style was that disabilty could be easily put on or removed, depending on the circumstances. The style quickly gained popularity due to comfort. A full court costume was awkward at best. Therefore, it is not surprising that women adopted a new fashion (not always intended for the bedroom).
Perfect home wear
Disabilty - it was the perfect style for everyday life. Clothing for a house of simple cut at that time was absolutely necessary for women. She at least temporarily freed the female body from immensely heavy ceremonial robes. Imitating the Duchess de Fontange, many ladies began to accept acquaintances, women and men, in their chambers, dressed only in translucent, created from the finest silk, disabilier. I liked this fashion so much that in the future, women have been wearing disabilty for a whole day without taking it off.
Given the laid-back nature of the style, some fabrics were preferred. Heavy ones such as brocade, gold fabric and taffeta were not used. Instead, silk, satin, linen and similar lightweight fabrics were preferred. In some cases, a belt encircled the waist.
Not only women loved this style. Men also saw the benefits of such attire from time to time. Their version included a loose white shirt, complete with the same loose bathrobe or home coat.
Such clothing as disabilty did not lose its relevance in the 19th century. This can be understood by reading the literary works of many writers. In the form of peignoirs and light bathrobes, this style has reached the present.
