The Tullie House court mantua dress is a blue silk and gold-embroidered court mantua dress at Tullie House Museum, Carlisle, Cumbria, England. It belonged to the 18th-century Carlisle miser Margery Jackson (1722-1812), and dates from around 1750. It is unusual in that it still retains the stomacher (front bodice panel). The dress is on permanent display at the museum.

Note: This dress is in a glass case under lights, so some photographs include reflections. The gold embroidery has dulled with age, but when it was new and worn at Court it would have glittered in the candlelight. The photographs have therefore been edited in an attempt to indicate some of the effect that the gold would have had. In order to favour the gold effect, the exact shade of blue has intentionally not been a priority in this set of photographs. In reality the silk fabric is a good light blue, but not turquoise.
