Notes: The name of the fashion house is a vestige of the original 18th-century court and passage which were demolished during the construction of the Boulevard de Sèbastopol, the shop's location at this point. The fashions illustrated here highlight the freer style of the period, with a less extreme female form in looser, more practical designs. There are intricate depictions of lace, chintz, children's pinafores, stockings, house-coats and rather diffidently modelled underwear.
