This 1809 fashion plate, from the Dutch magazine *Elegantia*, depicts a woman in a white dress, a *chapeau* with a *coquille*, and a *redingote* made of *percale* and trimmed with *muslin*. The plate's detailed illustration, which includes a label describing the outfit, is a prime example of the fashion plates that became popular in the 19th century.
