language">French</a> <span title="French-language text"><i lang="fr">manteuil</i></span> or 'mantle') is an article of women's <a href="/wiki/Clothing" title="Clothing">clothing</a> worn in the late 17th century and 18th century. Initially a loose <a href="/wiki/Gown" title="Gown">gown</a>, the later mantua was an overgown or <a href="/wiki/Robe" title="Robe">robe</a> typically worn over <a href="/wiki/History_of_corsets#16th_and_17th_centuries" title="History of corsets">stays</a>, <a href="/wiki/Stomacher" title="Stomacher">stomacher</a> and either a co-ordinating or contrasting <a href="/wiki/Petticoat" title="Petticoat">petticoat</a>. </p><p>The mantua or <span title="French-language text"><i lang="fr">manteau</i></span> was a new fashion that arose in the 1670s. Instead of a bodice and skirt cut separately, the mantua hung from the shoulders to the floor (like dresses of earlier periods). It started as the female version of the men's <a href="/wiki/Banyan_(clothing)" title="Banyan (clothing)">banyan</a>, worn for "undress" wear. Gradually the mantua developed into a draped and pleated dress and eventually evolved into a dress worn looped and draped up over a contrasting petticoat and a stomacher. The mantua-and-stomacher resulted in a high, square neckline in contrast to the broad, off-the-shoulder neckline previously in fashion. The new look was more modest and covered-up than previous fashions and decidedly fussy, with bows, frills, ribbons, and other trim, but the short string of pearls and pearl earrings or "eardrops" worn since the 1630s remained popular. </p><p>The mantua, made from a single length of fabric pleated to fit with a long train, was ideal for showing the designs of the new elaborately patterned silks that replaced the solid-coloured satins popular in the mid-century.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As well as contributing a new style of gown to women's dress, which would remain popular through the 18th century, the mantua formalised women dressmakers' and seamstresses’ position as makers of outerwear.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Etymology">Etymology</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mantua_(clothing)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Etymology"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The origins of the term <i>mantua</i>, to mean "a robe", are unclear.

In the earliest mantuas, the long <a href="/wiki/Train_(clothing)" title="Train (clothing)">trained</a> skirt was allowed to trail. From about 1710, it became customary to pin up the train. The construction of the mantua was altered so that once the train was pinned up, the exposed reverse of the train showed the proper face of the fabric or embroidery. One of the earliest extant examples of this, dated to 1710–1720, is in the <a href="/wiki/Victoria_and_Albert_Museum" title="Victoria and Albert Museum">Victoria and Albert Museum</a>'s collections.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Woman%27s_Robe_a_la_Polonaise_(Close-bodied_Gown)_LACMA_M.70.85_(10_of_10).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Woman%27s_Robe_a_la_Polonaise_%28Close-bodied_Gown%29_LACMA_M.70.85_%2810_of_10%29.jpg/220px-Woman%27s_Robe_a_la_Polonaise_%28Close-bodied_Gown%29_LACMA_M.70.85_%2810_of_10%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="342" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Woman%27s_Robe_a_la_Polonaise_%28Close-bodied_Gown%29_LACMA_M.70.85_%2810_of_10%29.jpg/330px-Woman%27s_Robe_a_la_Polonaise_%28Close-bodied_Gown%29_LACMA_M.70.85_%2810_of_10%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Woman%27s_Robe_a_la_Polonaise_%28Close-bodied_Gown%29_LACMA_M.70.85_%2810_of_10%29.jpg/440px-Woman%27s_Robe_a_la_Polonaise_%28Close-bodied_Gown%29_LACMA_M.70.85_%2810_of_10%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1351" data-file-height="2100" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Robe_%C3%A0_la_polonaise" class="mw-redirect" title="Robe à la polonaise">Robe à la polonaise</a>, silk plain weave with supplementary warp- and weft-float patterning.
