Woman wearing headdress and dress featuring
Woman wearing headdress and dress featuring extravagent pleating and flouncing. Pleated collars, flounces (falbalas) and ruffs (chicories), have never been more in fashion than today. The art of pressing has been raised to the point of perfection. The elegantes no longer send their linen to Neuilly: the coarse hands of the peasants tear the fabric they launder. The delicate hand of a Parisienne is required for fine linen. It costs 6 sous to launder a dress, and 50 to press it. Handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesangeres Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817.

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Fashionable Extravagance: A Parisienne in Headdress and Gown adorned with Pleats and Flounces, 1817" This hand-colored engraving, hailing from Pierre de la Mesangeres' Le Bon Genre publication in Paris during 1817, showcases the epitome of fashionable elegance during the Regency era. The woman in the image is dressed in a stunning gown and headdress, adorned with extravagant pleats and flounces that were the height of fashion at the time. Pleated collars, flounces (falbalas), and ruffs (chicories) were all the rage, and the art of pressing had reached new heights. In the pursuit of perfection, the Parisian elite no longer entrusted their fine linen to the rough hands of peasants in Neuilly for washing. Instead, they demanded the delicate touch of a Parisienne for the intricate pressing process. The cost of having a dress laundered was a mere 6 sous, but the pressing would set one back a significant 50 sous. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving highlights the importance of fashion and the lengths to which people went to maintain their stylish appearance. The woman's headdress, featuring a cascade of curls and intricate embellishments, complements her voluminous gown, which is adorned with layers of pleats and flounces that add to her regal and sophisticated appearance. This image offers a glimpse into the world of fashion during the Regency era, where elegance and extravagance reigned supreme. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of the woman's attire serve as a testament to the enduring allure of fashion and the lengths people have gone to express their individuality and status throughout history.
