Promenade Dresses for mother and son. Note the exotic eastern flare of the child's hat and buttons. The mother's parasol, shawl, and reticule have fringed trim on them. The mother's turban also reflects the fad for exotic eastern styles. |
Right: 1811, plate no. 1127. This fantastic walking dress is trimmed with ermine.
Center: 1811, plate number unknown. Virginia hat and "Douilette" of taffeta. This is a walking dress. Davenport writes, "the douillette is a soft `cuddly' interlined dress, with long sleeves and a high neck; it retains the long front closing and untrimmed hemline of the whole redingote- douilette series of garment" (The Book of Costume. Volume I. New York: Crown Publishers, 1948. 819).
Left: 1811, plate no. 1131. This pelisse is topped with both a shawl and a fur cape.
Left: 1811, plate no. 1124. A low-cut gown made of a beautiful pink cashmere shawl. Another shawl, white, is carried by the lady. Her headdress is of roses and pearls. The slashing on the long sleeves is part of the fad for Renaissance dress.
Center: 1811, plate no. 1175. This simple long-sleeved blue dress has a high ruff in the Elizabethan style. The gown is brightened by the gold cashmere shawl and slippers. A white bonnet with green trim frames the lady's face and highlights her dark brown ringlets.
Right: 1811, plate no. 1118. This is another beautiful shawl dress; note this also has a ruff.
Right: 1811, plate no. 1134. This lady wears a turban and is showing off her expensive cashmire shawl--the must-have assessory of 1811.
Left: 1811, plate no. 1172. A white walking dress.
