EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "Parisian Carriage Dress" and created by renowned English engraver John Bell in 1820, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashionable world of the 1820s. The elegant dress, adorned with intricate blue and white stripes, is an excellent example of the Empire line gowns popular during this period. The empire line, characterized by a high waistline and a loose-fitting bodice, was a significant departure from the more restrictive styles of the past. The dress is completed with a matching coat, featuring long sleeves and a collar, and a plumed headdress that adds an air of sophistication and grandeur. The dress also includes a voluminous robe, which was often worn as an outer layer for formal occasions. The engraving is hand-colored on paper, adding vibrancy and depth to the image. The Parisian influence on fashion during this time is evident in the delicate blue color and the elegant design of the dress. The carriage dress was a symbol of wealth and status, and this fashion plate would have been a valuable resource for women seeking to keep up with the latest trends. Today, this beautiful piece of history is preserved at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, providing us with a window into the fashionable past.
