Fashion plate, from La Mode IllustreéThis hand-coloured fashion plate is from La Mode Illustreé, a fashion magazine published in Paris. The plates illustrates a day dress and an evening dress and dates from 1862. It is signed, 'Héloïse Leloir' and 'Louis Berlier'. The dresses reflect the fashion for enormous skirts. During the decade from 1860 to 1870, skirts increased to their fullest circumference. In fact, they reached the maximum width that was decent and comfortable to wear, even with the aid of a hoop. Héloïse Leloir was born in 1820 and was the eldest daughter of Alexandre Marie Colin (1798-1875), a painter and lithographer. She married a painter named Leloir and designed plates for the house of Mariton which were distributed to many French magazines. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
