Portrait of Woman (1819) by Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun Paul Underwood Collection
Morning Dress. I love this image, for it makes me think this is how many women authors looked as they wrote their works. Doris Langley Moore writes of this image: "Morning dress of embroidered clear lawn, the cap a French cornette ... A morning dress of clear lawn trimmed with embroidered frills and mancherons, and blue ribbon headings. The cap is a French cornette with a high caul" (The Gallery of Fashion 1790-1822 from Plates by Heideloff and Ackermann with Introduction by Sacheverell Sitwell and Notes on the Plates by Doris Langley Moore. Batsford Colour Books. London: B.T. Batsford, 1949. 12).
Morning Dress. The cap here is called the Parisian mob, and it is tied with a pink ribbon and has some fake flowers trimming it. The lady sits on her cashmere shawl in her muslin morning gown. She wears leather gloves as she reads her letter. Nine rows of pink ribbon and one row of buttons trim the bottom of her gown. Buttons were still quite expensive, so this trim would indicate wealth. The little cape on the collar is a pelerine, and these became longer and much more common in the 1830s.
Left: Walking Dress. Boots of grey silk and black leather peak from under this grey dress trimmed with white crossing bands joined with roses. The lady also has a beautiful cashmire shawl. The bust is accentuated by the white cloth bindings around the chest called Athenian braces. The hat is modelled after men's hats of the period and is called a French walking hat.
Right: Walking Dress featuring Spencer. Remove the spencer and hat, and the lady is in white muslin and a white cornette-style cap, typical morning dress. The spencer of green is designed to draw attention to the bust. The hat is of green satin with dashing plumes.
