The Story

This beloved fairytale has many versions, but most share certain elements. Typically, it follows a young woman as she wanders the woods with her grandmother to pick flowers and is then visited by an unexpected wolf. Additionally, there is usually an unseen hunter who comes to her rescue and protects her from the beast.

Depending on the version, she may wear either a long apron or dress that looks like a polonaise gown with fabric draping in the back. While an apron is an iconic item of clothing for women, this type of draping was unheard-of in eighteenth-century Europe.
