Colonial America (1750-1790)
The early 18th century saw a new style of dress called robe volante "the flowing gown" consisting of a bodice with large pleats flowing from the shoulders to the ground over a petticoat (skirt).Â
Rococo gowns consisted of a robe, a petticoat, and a triangular stomacher.
Children's fashion mimicked adults and included similar undergarments.

Colonial Undergarments for dolls
The pattern includes pieces and instructions to make an 18" doll-size bum roll, colonial pocket, and stay.Â
Colonial America saw children mirror the style of dress of their parents. Kids as small as 4 years old would wear a stay to maintain posture. The children's stay did not include boning and were primarily used to maintain posture.
Colonail gowns usually include a slit on each side near waist so people could access their internal pocket as built in pockets were not introduced yet.
