The image depicts two women in elaborate gowns, the one on the left wearing a pink and white striped dress with lace trimmings and the other in a stunning blue gown adorned with lace and a delicate floral design. The illustration, likely intended for a fashion magazine, provides a glimpse into the style of the era, with its focus on form-fitting corsets, voluminous skirts, and intricate details. The fashion plate, also known as a "costume plate," serves as a visual guide for those seeking to emulate the latest trends in fashion, specifically for corsets and petticoats. It is a testament to the enduring power of fashion and its ability to reflect the cultural sensibilities of the time.
