How many animals can you wear in one 1820s outfit, do you think?
1826 and 1827, all women. A PAGE OF HATS.
1827, French. I can't remember the name of the journal but it is not La Modes des Paris or Journal des Dames et des Modes. The text reads: "Toque de velours à raies d'or. Robe de satin garnie de martre. Manteau de madras écossais." {Thank you 10littlebullets!} Semi-literally, "Gold striped velvet cap. Satin dress trimmed of marten. Coat of Scottish madras."
This one is pretty generic daywear! I have to admit that I don't find the mid-1820s as exciting as late and early, simply because..well, it's a transitional period of fashion inside a transitional period of fashion. The smaller sleeves of the regency are transforming to the much larger gigot sleeves of the height of the Romantic era, and thus they tend to look like pears and don't taper off immediately at the elbow like high gowns. Really interesting tartan cloak thing, there on the right, also. :D This one has two view of the same lovely it-looks-impossible-to-wear-correctly hat. It's like a tilted tricorner with many feathers!!
1827, French, from the same journal as the last one.
The text reads: "Robe de mousseline imprimée garnie d'un bais. Capote de rubans écossai et de paille de riz. Canezou de mousseline. Sac estelle monté en acier." {Thank you mmebahorel!} Semi-literally, "Printed muslin dress trimmed with [?]. Hood of Scottish ribbons and rice straw. Muslin canezou. Bag [?] mounted in steel."
Also rather generic daywear--flower adorned bonnets instead of feathery hats, though. Interesting canezou type things. More pointy shoes! :D Overall, lots of bows and ruffles, etc.
1826, French, Costume Parisiens/Journal des Dames et des Modes. The text reads "Turban à la dame blanche, du Magasin de Mme Doyen-huet. Robe de satin garnie de martre. Manteau de satin garni de chinchilla." Semi-literally, "Turban of white lady, of the store of Mme Doyen-huet. Satin dress, trimmed of marten. Satin coat, trimmed of chinchilla."
So basically they put marten and chinchilla fur on their dresses. HOW LOVELY. (My favourite animal? Martens, for those who don't know. Also when I was eight I wanted a pet chinchilla.)//personal anecdote. At least the feathered tartan turbans are kinda cool? Though, um. Feathers. (See, now I've put on my animal rights hat I can't take it off.) (Though I would wear a tartan hat. Those are pretty fab.)
1826, French, Costume Parisiens/Journal des Dames et des Modes. THIS IS THE HATS PAGE!! OBVIOUSLY!! The text reads: "1, Chapeau de paille de riz orné de blonde, d'une plume d'Autruche d'aigrettes et de marabouts par Mme. Doyen-Huet. 2, Capote de gaze ornèe de fleurs et de rubans de gaze. 3, Bonnet de tulle garni de rubans de gaze satinés et de roses." Semi-literally, "1, Rice straw hat, decorations of blonde, plumes of ostrich, of egrets, and of marabou by Mme. Doyen-Huet. 2, Hood of gossamer decorated with flowers and ribbons of gossamer. 3, Bonnet of tulle, ? ribbons of gossamer and of roses."
YAY HATS! I think 2 and 3 look similar in style, so I'm not sure why one is a bonnet and one is a hood, unless they are worn differently? (Probably.) 1820s hats are so good, though.
There are two more! with lesbians! I'm posting them separately because I'm too lazy to scan them at the moment. (Also, I bought them separately so that works.)
Also, I'm quite interested in this site. Perhaps when I next have 150$ I'll buy ten engravings from them!
Sticking this outside the cut because I'm desperate: What does 'garni' (or 'garnie') mean in English? I've looked it up several times but I'm either coming up with nothing or with too many definitions--from context it looks to mean something like garnished, adorned or decorated, which is most likely but honestly, I have no idea. ETA: Thank you mmebahorel and 10littlebullets. :)
