EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by John Bell in 1817, showcases the elegant morning dress of the 1810s. The image captures a woman in a blue empire gown, sitting gracefully with her hands delicately folded in her lap. The empire line, a popular fashion trend of the time, accentuates the slender waistline and full skirt, creating an elegant silhouette. The morning dress, as the name suggests, was originally intended for daytime wear. The long-sleeved robe is adorned with intricate detailing, including a high neckline, a fitted bodice, and a full, voluminous skirt. The dress is further enhanced by a matching head dress or headdress, adding a touch of sophistication and completeness to the ensemble. The fashion plate is a hand-colored engraving on paper, a common method for producing fashion illustrations during the 19th century. The intricate detail and vibrant colors bring the dress to life, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of the garment. This fashion plate is a testament to the rich fashion history of Britain during the early 1800s. The image, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the past, offering us a window into the world of historic women's wear and the fashion trends of the time. The elegant morning dress, with its timeless design and enduring appeal, continues to inspire fashion enthusiasts and designers to this day.
