This stunning handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costume of Saint-Lo," showcases the elegant attire of a young woman from the higher classes of Caux and Normandy during the late 19th century. The illustration is taken from Louis-Marie Lante's "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," published around 1885. The young woman in the illustration wears an elegant gown with a high waistline and a full, voluminous skirt. Her bodice is adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, reflecting the refined taste and sophistication of her social standing. Over her gown, she wears a tall Alsatian lace hat, or bonnet, which was a distinctive feature of the fashion in Caux and Normandy during this period. The hat, with its fine lace veil and elaborate design, adds an air of elegance and grace to her outfit. The handcoloring of the illustration adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the intricate details of the woman's costume to life. The use of muted colors and delicate shading creates a sense of timelessness and elegance, transporting us back to a bygone era. The women of Caux and Normandy were renowned for their fashion sense and the elegance of their attire. The tall Alsatian lace hats were a symbol of their status and refinement, and were worn by women of all ages and social classes. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and social customs of the region during the late 19th century, offering a window into the rich history and culture of Caux and Normandy.
