LAPL’s Digital Collection: Fashion Plates

 


Today we’ll browse into the Fashion Plate collection and take a look at this illustration from June of 1813. Here we see an ankle length white dress.  It has an embellished bodice which continues down the front of the dress.  There is lace detail on the bottom hem.  Accessories include long white evening gloves, green shawl embroidered at bottom edges, double-strand pearl necklace and white embellished turban.
