Pink Changeable, WSV 186

100% Silk, 53″ Wide

This silk changeable is pink that changes to white but the pink greatly dominates resulting in a slight change. This is a good weight for gowns, jackets, petticoats and banyans. Cited in The Pennsylvania Evening Post, of 1776, “Ran away … an Irish servant girl … and has something of the brogue…. She also took with her a changeable mantua gown”.
