1800s Clothing - French Prints from 1803

by Joanne Haug

A gallery of antique prints from Journal des Dames et des Modes.

   
 
 

After the French Revolution, the women of Paris were the first to abandon the ornate, constricting and overbearing fashions of the 1700s. Now they wore long flowing muslin dresses based upon the classical designs of the Greeks and Romans. This new elegant style draped the figure with a flattering high Empire style waistline. The fashions of the early 1800s were not only elegant and pleasing to the eye, but were very comfortable.

Journal des Dames et des Modes was a French fashion magazine first published in the late 18th century.  Included in their issues were hand-colored fashion engravings. Here we include a collection of these antique prints featuring 1803 gowns, dresses, hats and bonnets. The vintage fashion enthusiast will enjoy these fashion styles of the early 19th century that are portrayed in many of the recent motion picture adaptations of Jane Austen novels.
