EDITORS COMMENTS
This fashion plate, titled "Morning and Evening Dresses," dates back to the 1810s and is an exquisite example of the elegant attire of the early 19th century. The image, published in The Lady's Magazine, showcases two distinct dresses designed for different occasions: a morning dress for lighter activities and an evening gown for formal events. The morning dress, depicted on the left, is a robe of simple yet refined design. Its white color and delicate texture reflect the clean and fresh aesthetic associated with the morning hours. The dress features a high waistline, long sleeves, and a full, flowing skirt. The intricate hand-coloured engraving on the paper brings the dress to life, highlighting its fine details and textures. In stark contrast, the evening gown on the right is a vision of opulence and sophistication. The rich color, likely a deep hue, is emphasized by the use of line engraving, which adds depth and dimension to the image. The dress boasts a low neckline, revealing a hint of décolletage, and a full, voluminous skirt that would have swirled and rustled as the wearer moved. This fashion plate offers a glimpse into the social class distinctions of the time, with the morning dress representing the practical and understated elegance of the upper class, while the evening gown embodies the extravagance and glamour reserved for formal occasions. The intricately detailed engravings, published in a popular ladies' magazine, would have provided inspiration and guidance for women seeking to maintain their fashionable status in 19th-century society.
