The plates from Ackermann’s Repository‘s June 1809 issue (I.vi, pages 397-98): All Walking Dresses, all the time. And for the first time, a picture of a child’s outfit!



And, at the back of this volume, another Ackermann’s advertisement with actual fabric samples pasted in:

Ackermann’s Fashion Plates May 1809

July 8, 2015 By BlissBennet Leave a Comment

Fashion plates published in the May 1809 edition of Ackermann’s Repository (Vol. I, no. v, pages 328-30).

My favorite line: “The attempt to introduce long waists has completely failed; they have not, nor will they ever become fashionable.”

Looking forward to hearing Arbiter Elegantiarum‘s thoughts in the next issue on “general rules for the adaptation of the colors introduced in dress to the various characters and complexions of the lovely wearers.”
