Appearing in the November 1817 The Repository of Arts, Literature, Fashion, etc, this ball gown and walking dress are perfect for the fashionable lady attending parties in the colder months. The walking dress is complete with “autumnal bonnet” for keeping a ladies head warm and free from falling leaves.
The Magazine also helpfully offers general fashion hints and trends for the Autumn Season, including ways to wear your hair, the desperate lack of fashionables in Town in Autumn, and all the colors and textiles to appear very gentile.
