EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite fashion plate, dating back to the 1810s, showcases an elegant Parisian ball gown from the early 19th century. The intricately detailed engraving, created using both line and hand-coloring techniques on paper, offers a glimpse into the high fashion trends of the time. The dress, designed for the upper classes, is adorned with ivory-colored textiles, delicately draped to accentuate the feminine form. The dress features a fitted bodice, which cinches at the waist, and a full, voluminous skirt, which is gathered and secured with a sash. The off-the-shoulder sleeves are adorned with intricate lace and ruffles, adding an air of sophistication and elegance. The dress is a testament to the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into creating fashionable attire during this period. The location of the fashion plate is Paris, the epicenter of fashion during the 1800s, further emphasizing its significance as a representation of the latest trends and styles. This beautiful fashion plate is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
