This fashion plate from the Petit Courrier des Dames, published in 1828, illustrates a woman in a pink crepe capote with a ruffled collar and ribbons. The design features a pleated neckline, a fitted bodice, and a flowing skirt. The woman is accompanied by a child wearing a white dress with a blue sash and a straw hat. The print is a typical example of fashion plates popular in the early 19th century. They provided detailed visual representations of current fashion trends, offering a glimpse into the styles and accessories favoured by Parisians during this era.
