Morning Dresses, Summer 1798
Claremont Colleges Digital Library has a fabulous fashions collection. The link will bring you to the main page with its “small, random sampling of items in this collection.”
This “sample” is called Morning Dresses for August 1798. The descriptive page includes a detailed explanation of what you are viewing.
On a quick perusal: there are fashion plates for men, women; English fashions; French fashions. A nice feature is the ‘zoom’ feature each plate allows.
The plates come from a VAST variety of sources, including Ackermann, Petit Courrier des Dames, La Belle Assemblée; alas, evidently no Heideloff!
Would love visitors to share their thoughts on this digital collection!
