Proof that basic black doesn’t have to be boring! My favorite is actually the little tiara on the bottom right!

What an amazing variety of headwear! I’m kind of in love with the big brown one in the middle.

Very lovely plate (and one I’ve never seen before!) but the date is actually 1804/1805. Anything with the “An” on it pre-dates 1806, when they starting dating the plates with more easily recognizable years!

Lady’s Magazine, London Walking Dress, March 1805.
I love this pelisse! Check out that wide band of lace on the bottom of it! And a very 1960s looking bonnet, I think!
Journal des Dames et des Modes, 1805.
I am IN LOVE with this outfit! The buttons, the sash, the little ruffles on the shoulders, the v-front, the AMAZING bonnet and that lovely green shawl! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Lady’s Museum, May 1805.
Ok, that last one didn’t really count since it was a repeat, so here’s some new pretty to look at! The accessories in this one are particularly fabulous! The veil on the pink girl is exquisite and I love everything about the girl in white’s outfit!

The are my favorites! I love the bonus hair and turban images!

Look at those strange closures on the black pelisse! What do you think they are?
Ladies Museum, December 1805.
OH MY GOD THE POLKA DOTS! I adore these so, so much! Pair that fabric with fur accessories, a cute bonnet, and a fabulous veil and I am enthralled.
