Corriere Delle Dame, 1812.
A big thank you to Julia, a very generous reader who shares scans of her fashion plates with us! I adore this outfit- from the bonnet to the bands on her sleeves to the sweet little shoes!
La Belle Assemblee, Evening Dress, July 1812.
I can’t quite wrap my mind around that trim (are the loops held together with pearls?!) but it is certainly striking!

I need to get my hands on some orange wool and some faux ermine fur, RIGHT NOW. This outfit must be mine!

I thought about doing mourning/black gowns, I thought about doing fancy dress, but those all seemed too obvious, so instead I present you with two days of ORANGE! Happy Halloween!
Lady’s Magazine, Morning Dress, October 1812.
Oh what a sweet little bonnet and lovely pelisse! This looks like a simple enough outfit to make- perhaps it should to into my to-make queue!
La Belle Assemblee, March 1812.
Cute little ruffles around her neckline!

How can you be sad when you’re wearing such a beautiful outfit?!
Lady’s Magazine, Evening Dress, November 1812.
What a sweet little plate!
La Belle Assemblee, Parisian Head Dresses, May 1812.
I never posted this one here, so forgive the reblog. The blue stovepipe bonnet on the top left is one of my all-time favorites!

La Belle Assemblee, Ball Dress, August 1812.
This one is a little…strange? A little too many design elements thrown in for my tastes, but I do like the colors.
La Belle Assemblee, Evening Dress, February 1812.
Very cool sleeves and what an unusual reticule!
