Fashion Plate (Fancy Ball Dress), 1820. Not from Ackermann's Repository of Arts: instead from La Belle Assemblee, in which the plates were dated one month ahead, so this one reads August 1820, but was published in the July 1820 issue

EDITORS COMMENTS
Fancy Ball Dress" and dated August 1820, is an exquisite example of women's fashion during the Regency Era in Britain. Created by renowned publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann, this hand-colored engraving on paper was originally published in the July 1820 issue of La Belle Assemblee. The elegant woman depicted in this plate wears a fashionable ball gown, featuring an empire line and full skirt, which was a popular trend during the 1820s. The empire line, characterized by a dress that fits at the bust and flares out below, allowed for freedom of movement and showcased the feminine figure. The gown is adorned with intricate floral patterns, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. The woman's hair is styled in an elaborate updo, with a large bow at the back and curls framing her face. Her headdress, a common accessory for formal occasions during this period, adds an air of grandeur to her appearance. The long, flowing sleeves of the gown are also adorned with delicate floral patterns, adding to the overall beauty and intricacy of the design. This Fashion Plate is a testament to the art and craftsmanship of the time, reflecting the fashion trends and cultural norms of the Regency Era in Britain. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historic fashion plates or art, and a reminder of the rich heritage and history of women's apparel."
