Royal Lady’s Magazine, Court and Ball Dress, April 1831.
Holy Cats! This is magnificent. Look at that glorious overskirt! Gold and purple are always so stunning together! And her headdress! All the feathers! Exclamation point!
(And I guess that pink gown is pretty great, too.)
Royal Lady’s Magazine, Evening and Ball Dresses, February 1831.
The overdress thingy on the evening dress is quite unusual! I love the flash of pink in the lining!

Dark orange and white lace! What a combination!
Lady’s Magazine, Ball and Evening Dress, August 1830.
The ball dress almost looks like a costume.
La Belle Assemblee, Parisian Ball Dress, February 1821.
This bodice is a little weird for my tastes, but I do like the trim on the skirts- and her sleeves!
Royal Lady’s Magazine, June 1831.
The sleeves on the gal in blue look positively dangerous!
