Title

Daywear

Description

Daywear showing a variety of outerwear and day dresses all with wide, loose sleeves, and hoop skirts. The two women on the far left appear to be wearing decorated mantles or paletots over their dresses and heavily trimmed bonnets. The center woman is wearing a dress with a fitted bodice and long sleeves. The 4th woman from the left appears to be wearing a loose fitting housedress or robe with a jewel neckline, pagoda sleeves, no visible waistline, lace trim, and a lace cap. The seated woman is painting and has a dress with a small collar; long, loose sleeves, button front closure, and a lace cap with the ends trailing down the back. The young girl is wearing a dress with a jewel neckline, short sleeves, a double pointed sash, and a full skirt. The painting also provides some insight into what was considered appropriate female activity during this time period. (published for Godey's Fashions by Capewell & Kimmel)
