Summary

[edit]
Description

"The Graces in a High Wind", a satirical engraving by James Gillray (published 1810).

This caricatures the loosely-clinging Empire/Regency styles, worn with few layers of stiffening petticoats. Many people alive in 1810 would have well remembered the rigid styles of the 1770s, which went to the opposite extreme.
