19th Century Paper Dolls

Fashion Plate Friday: 1839

5/11/2012

Just a quickie for Fashion Plate Friday! This one was originally published in Le Follet (a Paris magazine), in November of 1839.

Love the green dressing/smoking gown with the red lining and cap ~ also the little gold slippers.  The other two gents are wearing evening clothes (at left), and (at right) what looks like a typical day-to-evening frock (more casual than the dinner tails).

Aside from the clothes, I really love the ghosted-in room decor: the fireplace, candelabra, etc.

Those shoes look jolly uncomfortable. But they do go beautifully with that snazzy brown velvet coat...

i love how pointy they are! standards of beauty were as weird then as they are now: small, narrow feet were definitely all the rage in the mid-10th century!

Personally I prefer a nice rugged pair of cowboy boots...
