EDITORS COMMENTS
This fashion plate, titled "Carriage Dress," dates back to the 1820s and was originally published in The Lady's Magazine. The image showcases a young woman dressed in the height of 19th-century British fashion, standing full length and looking away from the viewer. She wears a carriage dress, an elegant style popular during this era, which features a fitted bodice, a voluminous skirt, and a long train. The dress is adorned with intricate floral patterns and is hand-tinted in shades of blue and color, adding to its visual appeal. The woman's bonnet, also hand-tinted, sits atop her head, its wide brim shading her face from the sun. She wears a delicate hat adorned with a ribbon and a feather, adding a touch of elegance to her ensemble. The fashion plate is a hand-colored engraving on paper, meticulously created to showcase the latest trends in women's wear. The setting of the fashion plate is unclear, but the woman's carriage dress suggests an affluent background. The image is a testament to the importance of fashion during this period and the role of magazines like The Lady's Magazine in shaping women's fashion choices. This rare and beautiful fashion plate is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences interested in the history of apparel, art, and fashion.
