Romantic Era Fashion Plate - March 1821 Ackerman's Repository

London Fashions

Evening Dress
A round dress composed of pale pink soie de Londres, trimmed with pink zephyreene fluted in a scroll pattern. The corsage is cut square at the bust, and so as to display the neck a good deal; the back is plain, and laced behind; the front is ornamented with a stomacher, broad at the top, but sloping in a good deal towards the bottom, and coming very little below the waist: it is decorated with pearls. The sleeve is a fulness of net over pink soie de Londres; the fulness is confined in the middle by a pink satin ornament. The hair is dresses in loose ringlets on the forehead, and falling low at the sides; the hind hair is cut partly behind, so as to curl in the neck; the remaining part is braided, and brought round the head. Head-dress, a tiara of diamonds and a full plume of marabouts. Necklace and ear-rings, diamonds. White kid gloves, and white satin shoes.

We are indebted to Miss Pierpoint, inventress of the corset a la Grecque, of No. 9, Henrietta-street, Covent-Garden, for this elegant dress and the head-dresses which we present this month to our fair subscribers.
