Fashion Plates Design Set

Product Information

A spate of periodicals emerged in the 18th century, including a number aimed at women, and from 1759 the Lady's Magazine (1759-1763) became the first to record contemporary fashions with its ‘habits’ of the year. Another, longer-lived Lady's Magazine (1770-1832) followed with more frequent and regular plates from 1770 to show what society was wearing. Early plates were issued uncoloured, though may have been tinted by dressmakers to inspire their clients, but by 1790 those in the Lady’s Magazine were 'embellished’ with hand-colouring, and the practice of including regular coloured plates had begun.

The Redingote was worn from 1818 onwards initially indoors in cold weather, worn open whilst revealing the dress beneath.Its name derives from the 18 th century version of a riding coat. It was used in place of a loose cloak and as it developed a series of shoulder capes it became very suitable for travel. As dresses widened so the Redingote widened.

The publications that printed fashion plates also reflected the changing socio-economic climate in the nineteenth century. Periodicals targeted to both wealthy women and middle class women were being produced, which led to ladies’ magazines, and therefore fashion plates, being a regular commodity for households of varying social classes. It is important to remember, however, that this accessibility didn't mean that women could buy new clothes with every issue. Much like today with magazines like Vogue and Elle, women can read about the latest styles, but unless they have the financial means, they aren't buying new clothes every month.

But from the 1830s, French engravings were themselves sent over for inclusion in high-class English periodicals. It was common practice for less accomplished engravers to then copy them for cheaper magazines, so the same dress was often seen recurring in subsequent months as it worked its way down the social scale and further away from Paris. By the 1860s and 70s nearly every English magazine imported its plates from France, and the collection contains numerous French prints that were reissued in England.

The Pelisse can be a confusing term because there were several forms over a 50-year period. The first form of pelisse worn from 1800 to 1810 was an empire line coat-like garment to the hip or knee. Publications took fashion plates a step further by utilizing a popular method called pochoir, a type of stenciling printing style that was “used to reproduce the work of renowned Art Deco illustrators, including George Barbier, Robert Bonfils, Paul Iribe, and Georges Lepape.” [1] A similar style of art can also be seen on the cover of twentieth century issues of the American magazine, Harper's Bazaar,usually with illustrations by the artist and designer, Erte (a personal favorite of mine). These illustrations step away from the traditional eighteenth century fashion plate by creating fantastical scenes in which to showcase the latest styles. Along with advancements in technology, depictions of children's clothing can also be seen in nineteenth century fashion plates.
