Marie Antoinette, who regularly sat for Vigée Le Brun, popularized the kind of simple, white muslin dress so beautifully painted in this portrait of the comtesse de la Châtre, daughter of Louis XV’s premier valet de chambre.

Comtesse de la Châtre (Marie Charlotte Louise Perrette Aglaé Bontemps), 1789, Elisabeth Louise Vigée le Brun, Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This portrait shows us the big influence of British art and fashion in France at the end of the century: look at the pose and the big hat. Very Romney, much Gainsborough.

Anyway, made in the same year that the French Revolution would start, we see the Comtesse de la Châtre wearing what seems a chemise à la reine but to me looks more like a round dress (because of the overskirt that looks kind-of fake?), made not in a plain white muslin but in Swiss dot. We can also clearly see the texture of the silk ribbon on her waist and hat, the cute small lace next to her hands and the little buttons at the cuffs. Also, take a look at the way her fichu is rolled and knotted at her back for it not move.

Well, this is a look I'd love to reproduce.

Comtesse de la Châtre by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun 1789, saw this at GOMA and it is one of my favourite paintings

"Marie Antoinette, who regularly sat for Vigée Le Brun, popularised the kind of simple, white muslin dress so beautifully painted in this portrait of the Comtesse de la Châtre, daughter of Louis XV’s premier valet de chambre. Vigée Le Brun combined it with an innovative pose that was probably inspired by the casual, calculated elegance of British portraits, notably those of Emma Hamilton by George Romney. Like many of Vigée Le Brun’s sitters and the artist herself, the Comtesse de la Châtre was a loyalist close to the Crown who fled France during the French Revolution."
