| Child and Woman's Dress in Greek Mode. These two dresses have hems trimmed in Greek patterns. The mother's elaborate reticule is designed with Greek patterns as well. The lack of ruffles and lace is part of the effort to make the dress look like a simple Greek toga. Note the Greek style sandals. | Woman's Dress of 22 Aug. 1798. According to Alice Mackrell, Shawls, Stoles and Scarves (NY: Drama Books, 1986), the dress features a "echarpe agragee" or clasped scarf (29). The hair is cut in the "Titus" style. | Woman's Dress of 25 Feb. 1798, plate 24. |
