EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the year 1794-1795 showcases the significant transformation in women's fashion during this period, particularly in Germany, as the style shifted from a natural waistline to a high waistline and a softer silhouette. The image, titled "Costume 1794-5," displays an elegant ensemble that embodies the essence of the changing times. The model is dressed in both spring and winter fashions, demonstrating the versatility of the new style. In the spring outfit, she wears a light, flowing gown adorned with a buffont corsage, a fashionable accessory that accentuates the high waistline. The corsage, made of stiff material, creates an hourglass figure and cinches the waist, while the gown's full skirt cascades gracefully around the model's legs. The winter outfit showcases a similar design, but with heavier fabrics and warmer accessories. The model wears a mob cap, a shawl, a muff, and a neckerchief to keep warm. The high waistline remains a prominent feature, as seen in the buffont corsage worn beneath the winter gown. The print also includes a reticule, a small handbag, and a fichu, a triangular scarf worn around the neck, adding to the authenticity of the ensemble. The overall effect is a striking contrast to the previous fashion trends, which featured a more natural waistline and a more boxy silhouette. This print is an invaluable resource for those interested in the history of fashion and the evolution of women's clothing during the late 18th century. The intricate details and the high-quality illustration make it a must-have for any historical fashion collection.
