EDITORS COMMENTS
This fashion plate, titled "Evening Dresses for Novr. 1801," is an exquisite example of early 19th century British fashion as depicted in The Lady's Monthly Museum. The engraving, of unknown origin, showcases two young women in full-length evening dresses, seated and standing, admiring each other's elegance. The women's dresses are adorned with intricate designs, featuring voluminous skirts, fitted bodices, and elaborate headdresses. One woman wears a yellow, hand-tinted gown with a high neckline and long sleeves, while the other dons a white, hand-colored dress with a low-cut neckline and short sleeves. The women's dresses are accessorized with shawls or wraps, adding an extra layer of warmth and sophistication. The setting is a charming, ornate chair, suggesting a grand soirée or a formal gathering. The hand-colored engraving on paper, with its rich colors and attention to detail, transports us back to the elegance and refinement of the Regency era in England. This image is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to the enduring allure of fashion history.
