Regency Fashion: Full Dress (1805) and TBT from 1755

Printed in the July issue of the Lady’s Monthly Museum from 1805, was this unique fashion plate that showed a throw back picture to a gown from 1755.ย  I don’t recall having seen this elsewhere before, and its bizarre that the description is simply “Dress of the old woman”.
