1790 Apron Austria Calf Caps Caraco House Wife Includes Jackets Length Ordinary Pierrot Servants Shopping Worn Short Skirt
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dating back to circa 1790, showcases an authentic German costume from the Austrian region. The elegant woman, dressed in the traditional attire, dons a caraco jacket with a fitted bodice and long, voluminous sleeves. The jacket is worn over a short, knee-length skirt made of a rich, textured fabric, adorned with intricate patterns. A white apron, tied around her waist, completes the look. The woman's attire is accessorized with a simple, white fichu draped over her shoulders, keeping in line with the modest fashion trends of the time. The ensemble is further enhanced with a tall, conical cap, a common headpiece for women of the era. The print also reveals a peek into the woman's daily life, as she carries a large basket on her arm, suggesting a trip to the market or perhaps a day of housework. The presence of a mob cap and a servant's jacket in the background further underscores the class distinctions of the time. This print offers a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of German women during the late 18th century. The intricate details of the costume, from the length of the skirt to the design of the caps, provide valuable insights into the ordinary lives of women during this era. The print, with its timeless charm and historical significance, is a must-have for any collection focused on European fashion history or the social history of Germany during the late 1700s.
