An August 1776 reorganisation of guild structures created a Paris guild for fashion merchants, feather-dressers, and flower-makers, headed by Marie-Jeanne [Rose] Bertin.

In August 1776, the reorganisation of guild structures saw the creation of a guild for the "fashion merchants, feather-dressers, and flower-makers of the city and the suburbs of Paris," with Marie-Jeanne [Rose] Bertin at its head. The guild, known as Marchandes de modes, covered ornaments for headdresses, hats, and dresses within the city of Paris. It was the fourth guild in Paris open to women, after the Maîtresses marchandes lingères, the Maîtresses couturières, and the Maîtresses bouquetières.
