Left: Seaside Bathing Dress, 1815. It is unclear to me if this dress is simply to be worn to the bathing machine, which can be seen in the lower left of the picture, or actually into the sea. Most likely the former, since the bathing machines acted as changing rooms as well. Note the odd green and white slippers that match the dress, which is purple with green trim.
Right: Walking Dress, 1815. Notice how similar these two plates are--the figures have the same face and are in nearly the same pose.The bonnets are almost identical is style.
Left: Carriage Dress, 1815. The lady carries a quizzing glass, which could be used to make fun of "quizzes" or to simple see better in an age when a lady did not wear glasses to social events.
Right: Morning Dress, 1815. The all white "classical" look was especially popular for morning dress. It was considered rather garish to wear elaborate fabrics or jewels in the morning.
Right: An 1815 spencer for sale (4/40/4) for $1650 at Karen Augusta: Antique Lace & Fashion
Left: A ball gown held by the Saffron Walden Museum, Essex, England; this gown supposedly was worn to the famous ball the night before Waterloo hosted by the Duchess of Richmond.
