EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite fashion plate, dating back to February 1799, showcases the elegant morning dress of the 18th century. The intricately detailed engraving, taken from The Lady's Monthly Museum, captures the essence of high-class fashion during this period. The dress, adorned with delicate white lace, is a testament to the refined taste and sophistication of the upper class. The robe is worn over a matching white bodice, with a full, voluminous skirt that is gathered at the waist and falls gracefully to the floor. The dress is further accentuated by the use of color, with a touch of red ribbon at the waist and a hint of green in the foliage pattern at the hem. The fashion plate is a hand-colored etching on paper, with fine lines that reveal the intricate stitching and textures of the fabric. The dress is a symbol of the social class distinctions of the time, with only the wealthiest women able to afford such luxurious attire. Today, this fashion plate serves as a valuable historical artifact, providing insights into the fashion trends and cultural norms of the late 18th century. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is home to this precious piece of heritage art, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
