Fashion plate, from Der Bazar
Add to album

This hand-coloured fashion plate is from Der Bazar, an illustrated ladies' magazine published in Berlin. This plate illustrates a wedding dress and an outdoor day dress and is dated 1 October, 1885. It is signed with the initials, 'H.G.' and the monogram, 'HGB'.

The waistline of these dresses is tight fitting and extends to a long point. The bustle is quite exaggerated, tending to arch up and out from the back. The skirts are draped and trimmed at the back into elaborate bouffants.

Der Bazar, which was also published in Dutch and Italian versions, started in 1854. One of its contributors was E Préval, a prolific artist of the 1860s whose fashion plates appeared in most of the best magazines of the time.
