On December the 14th 1878, Grand Duchess Alice of Hesse died after a short battle with illness. Alice, who were the sister-in-law of Princess Alexandra, is said to have been her brother Albert’s favourite sister. Albert sank deep in grief at the loss of Alice and his wife, Princess Alexandra (seated beneath Alice in the photo) said upon meeting Queen Victoria;

"I wish I had died instead of her".

Robe à l'anglaise of silk taffeta trimmed with self-fabric ruching. French, c.1785 (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). The cut of this dress, with its fitted back, was considered far less formal than the robe à la francaise. By the 1780s, such striped fabric had become extremely popular.
