Product Details

French Remedy for Stuffiness.

The 18th century French aristocracy discovered a wonderful remedy for that heavy, dull, stuffy feeling we all get now and then.

“Toile de Jouy,” they called it, or “twahl,” for short.

Light, airy, printed fabric with scenes of pastoral life, mythology, exotic travel, flora, and fauna, verging sometimes on the whimsical.

It provides a gentle uplift to a person’s imagination.

Marie Antoinette, weary of thick, ornate brocades, couldn’t get enough toile. Made her feel like she could breathe again.

I think it will have a similar effect on you.

Toile Print Dress (No. J6503) in cool cotton with a wonderful, floral botanical print. Sleeveless, scoop-necked dress with a full low-calf sweep. Shaping princess seams. A dozen poly buttons down center front. Wide self-tie belt. Goes from casual to chic with no visible effort. Imported

PERFECT in a multitude of ways

THIS dress has cool beautiful all cotton fabric. The print is very soft and feminine, The fabric has a weave pattern that is soft and has a soft cotton lining. The design is timeless and any woman would be noticed in the both gorgeous and feminine appearance of this. I have a weight problem and might try to order this later again. The chest was too big in this size 14. I have to work on myself to get near fitting into this lovely expression of a feminine woman. I am serious. THIS is lovely.

My favorite summer dress. Weddings, garden parties, showers....I love that most JP dresses have no adherence to 'current style trends' because I get to keep pulling them out of my closet every few years and still look fresh and original.
