	History of the1888 Reception Toilette and notes on late 1880s Fashions
		In late 1887 and early 1888 Sarah Bernhardt wore fashions from the 1790s, the Directoire period, while starring in the play "Tosca." Within months of her debut, Paris designers introduced a new dress style loosely based on the Directoire fashions of 1790 to 1795.
		The same editor added that she considered the original style "peculiarly ugly and ungraceful." Her displeasure with the style’s reappearance is evident when she gloated that though the Directoire style was worn "by a certain number of fashionable women" it was not finding favor with the majority.
		Designers and dressmakers resorted to artificially shortening the Directoire dress’s waist by using a wide belt or sash, or horizontal trim between the revers.

		Key differences between the Tessoro and the Directoire include the Tessoro's elimination of the garlands and rosettes between panels; its use of one instead of two types of flower medallions; its use of four instead of nine colors; and, in general, its coarser make and lower quality.
		It has raised genuine issues of material fact as to whether the claimed original constituent elements of the Directoire are unique and therefore protectible by copyright, and whether their use in the two rugs is substantially similar.
		A jury ultimately may conclude that the similarities between the Tessoro and protected constituent elements of the Directoire are insubstantial, but we are convinced that they are sufficiently substantial to preclude summary judgment.

		With the large ressources of Lorraine at her diposal, she turned the tide of the war, reunited Le Directoire (or what was left of it) to a campaing in the Lower Counties.

		Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, President Jacques Chirac, and Prime Minister Tony Blair want to coordinate their policies across a wide front, but they deny they are trying to establish a "directoire" of the big three powers to dominate the union.
		The EU is going through a difficult moment, with the massive enlargement to the east about to begin and with its efforts to adopt a new constitution stalled.
		And it's true that is causing some consternation among the smaller members of the union, who fear that a "directoire" (body of directors) of the "Big Three" is emerging, which will then try to play the boss in Europe.
