EDITORS COMMENTS
This fashion plate, titled "Fashionable Walking & Evening Dresses for July," 1822, showcases the elegance and sophistication of women's fashion during the early 19th century in Britain. The engraved image, published in The Lady's Magazine, features two young women adorned in the latest styles for the month of July. On the left, a young woman wears a full-length walking dress, complete with a high-waisted, empire-line silhouette and a voluminous, bell-shaped skirt. She accessorizes her outfit with a blue bonnet, a white handkerchief tied around her neck, and a parasol for protection from the sun. Her companion, seated on a bench, dons an evening dress, characterized by its fitted bodice and full, flowing skirt. The dress is hand-tinted in shades of blue and white, creating a stunning contrast against the dark background. The women's hats are also noteworthy, with the seated woman's bonnet featuring a delicate, white ribbon and the standing woman's parasol boasting an intricate, blue design. Both women carry umbrellas, a common accessory for women during this time, adding an element of practicality to their fashionable attire. This hand-colored engraving on paper is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of fashion illustrations during the 1820s. The image, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of women in Britain during this time, providing valuable insight into the clothing trends and styles of the era.
