1789 1790 Directoire Fronts Georgian Gowns Including Matching Muff Pelerines Petticoats Revealing Rosette Tippet Waistcoats
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dated between 1789 and 1790 from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the elegant and intricately detailed fashion trends of the late Georgian era. The image showcases a group of ladies dressed in the height of fashion during the Directoire period, a time marked by the transition from the opulence of the Georgian era to the simpler styles of the French Revolution. The women in the print are adorned with various fashionable accessories and garments. One lady wears a pelerine, a short cape that was popular during this time, fastened with a rosette at the neck. Another lady dons a buffont, a large, flat, and wide-brimmed hat, often worn tilted to one side, and a fur tippet, which is draped around her shoulders. A matching muff, a long, fur-lined glove, completes her outfit. Another lady in the print wears a large mob cap, a tall, conical hat with a rounded top and a long, flowing veil. Her gown features an open front, revealing a waistcoat and petticoat underneath. The waistcoat, a short, fitted jacket, was a common addition to women's fashion during this time, while the petticoat, a full, voluminous skirt, added an air of femininity and elegance. The ladies in the print exude an air of sophistication and refinement, their outfits a testament to the intricate and detailed fashion trends of the late Georgian era. The Directoire period was marked by a shift towards simpler styles, but the elegance and beauty of these garments remain timeless.
