Which was more seen at court? A Court Mantua or a robe de cour?
It’d depends on what court we’re talking about. Let’s remember that court attire was very detailed on what should be worn. So, in English court a mantua would be worn, and in France and the rest of Europe, a robe de cour would be the one.
Even though a court mantua and a robe de cour are practically the same thing, I’d like to point at the main difference between both. Here we go:
The sleeves. The mantua sleeves changes with the fashion (we see cuffs or ruffles of the same fabric of the bodice), while on a robe de cour the sleeves are of many lace ruffles.
English mantua, 1755-1760 // Queen Lovisa Ulrika’s coronation robe from 1751
Closure. The mantua is a front-opening gown, while the robe de cour is back opening.
Court mantua, 1740-45 // Robe de cour of Sofia Magdalena of Sweden, 1766
The train. The court mantua’s train was an evolution of the carefully folded one from the late 17th century mantua. On the other side, the robe de cour’s train was long and simply gathered at the waist, it could also be visible only from the back, or could seem like an overskirt at the front.

The front. The mantua has a clear square neckline, while the robe de cour has a deep round neckline, sometimes decorated by lace.

Women have the right to let one rip every now and then.
