This stunning 1801 fashion plate, titled "Afternoon Dress for Feby.," showcases the elegant fashion trends of the early 19th century in Britain.

The dresses, featuring checked patterns in shades of green, are coordinated with gloves and hats. The young women are depicted in profile, one holding a handheld fan, adding an air of refinement and leisure. The intricate detailing of the dresses, from the draped sleeves to the fitted bodices, demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating fashionable clothing during this time. The use of hand coloring adds a vibrant and rich quality to the print, bringing the dresses and the women to life. The location and time of day are not explicitly stated, but the setting sun and the women's relaxed postures suggest a leisurely afternoon in the countryside. This fashion plate is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the fashion trends and the social customs of the time.
