Journal des Dames et des Modes, Costume Parisien, 15 juillet 1817, (1662) 1817

This fashion plate, created by Pierre Charles Baquoy in 1817, showcases the latest Parisian fashion for women. The drawing, part of the "Journal des Dames et des Modes" series, depicts a young woman in a simple yet elegant dress. The dress is characterized by its loose, flowing silhouette, with a high waist and a wide skirt. The delicate, horizontal stripes on the skirt add a touch of refinement. The hat, with its wide brim and simple design, completes the ensemble, embodying the understated elegance of the era. The plate offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the early 19th century, particularly the shift towards a more relaxed and comfortable style of dress for women.
