Pardessus (fashion)

Lady with a fur- trimmed pardessus and capot hat , 1837

The pardessus ( French par dessus "over") is a fitted coat similar to the paletot , which was worn during the crinoline fashion in the 19th century. It differs from the Paletot mainly in that it is slightly more tailored (often with darts in a princess cut ) and is trimmed with fur or velvet.
