Fashion plate, from La Mode IllustreéThis hand-coloured fashion plate is from La Mode Illustreé, a fashion magazine published in Paris. Dating from 1881, the plate illustrates two day dresses and hats. It is signed, 'R' and 'Anaïs Toudouze'. These sheath-like dresses with 'cuirasse' bodices and elaborately trimmed trains continued to be very popular up until the reappearance of the bustle in 1885. The 'cuirasse' was a corset-shaped bodice with a design somewhat similar to that of a man's jacket. Adèle Anaïs Toudouze was the second daughter of Alexandre-Marie Colin (1798-1875), a painter and lithographer. Along with her sisters, Héloïse and Laure, she was responsible for some of the most charming fashion plates of the mid-nineteenth century.
