EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "Fashionable Morning & Evening Dresses," dates back to 1812 and is an exquisite example of the elegant and intricately designed clothing of the early 19th century. The print, which is of unknown origin but was originally published in The Lady's Magazine, showcases the fashion trends of the 1810s for both morning and evening wear. The morning dress, depicted on the left, is a simple yet elegant design, featuring a high waistline, long sleeves, and a full skirt. The dress is adorned with delicate floral patterns and is worn with a matching shawl and bonnet. The evening gown, on the right, is a more extravagant and ornate design, with a low-cut neckline, puffed sleeves, and a full, voluminous skirt. The gown is richly decorated with intricate embroidery and beading, and is worn with a matching shawl and a headdress adorned with feathers and pearls. The fashion plate provides a fascinating glimpse into the social class distinctions of the time, with the morning dress representing the more practical and understated attire for everyday wear, while the evening gown was reserved for the upper classes and special occasions. The use of color and texture in the print adds to its visual appeal, with the hand-coloured engraving on paper bringing the clothing to life and highlighting the intricacies of the designs. This beautiful fashion plate is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is preserved and studied for its historical significance and artistic merit. It serves as a reminder of the importance of fashion in expressing social status and identity throughout history, and continues to inspire and influence fashion designers and enthusiasts to this day.
