My comment:

ad manteau de cour :
traîne débutant au niveau des épaules que l'on trouve spécialement sur les robes de mariées
cf https://www.encyclopedie.fr/definition/manteau_de_cour
ergo: a kind of gown or train starting at the shoulders, often found on the wedding dresses
ad cérémonie du sacre and ad sacre:
French ceremony of coronation - here: the most important part was the Sacre, i.e. the anointing or unction of the king (= pouring oil over head and body) and not the coronation itself
cf https://books.google.de/books?id=Q5eTCY1nZuYC&pg=PA286&lpg=PA286&dq=Ceremony++Sacre&source=bl&ots=3_gw5mpWsJ&sig=ACfU3U14KDZHO1XSOhGjb_7vawfmQQm4hQ&hl=de&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjbhoj266HyAhWAhv0HHXhJCSMQ6AF6BAgMEAM#v=onepage&q=Ceremony%20%20Sacre&f=false [ibid p. 286]

IMO: keep it the term "sacre"

It's an image, not a precise description. The garment in question is a Japanese-style bathrobe like an opulent kimono, not an actual robe used during the "Sacre" in France.
