Description of plate translated into English: It is only fair that, having announced the English fashions, and given each of our issues a title bearing this announcement, we should occasionally provide some examples of these fashions. We realise that they will not seem very new to our subscribers, since they are actually our fashions that the English are now wearing in London; but we must give them, whatever they may be, if only to show our attention to fulfilling our duties. The Englishman depicted in Plate II is dressed in a sky blue coat with a very high collar, trimmed with scarlet piping, lined with scarlet cloth, and adorned with large white cloth buttons embroidered with scarlet silk. Under this coat, he wears a waistcoat with wide white and scarlet stripes forming large checks, edged with a long scarlet and white trim. His breeches are made of yellow (lit. serin tail colour/couleur queue de serin) cashmere cloth, with sky blue silk stitching on the garters, buttonholes and drawstring. Gaiters-boots, made of very shiny black leather from the foot to the calf, and natural-coloured leather from the calf to just below the knee, which they cover, these gaiters-boots being buttoned from bottom to top with small shiny black buttons. [Description continues on next image]

Detail from plate [Continuation of description translated into English]: For about a fortnight now, our young Franco-Anglomaniac masters have adopted this fashion for gaiter boots. Many, instead of these gaiters, have taken up soft boots in two colours, yellow from below the calf to the tip of the foot. This fashion, which has long reigned in Paris and is now returning, has always been due to the English, and is still due to them. They must be predestined to adorn the legs of many of our young gentlemen, just as they are to adorn their heads, these young gentlemen adopting all their styles of hats, such as jockey hats, refurbished hats à l'Angloise, hats à la Androsmane, etc. The Englishman depicted is wearing a hat à la Androsmane, on the left side of which is placed a very large black ribbon cockade. His hair is curled on each side into a single very long and very low curl. His hair at the back is tied very low in a long, thin queue. His hands are covered with yellow (peau couleur queue de serin) leather gloves. In his right hand he holds a light bamboo stick, and in his left he keeps his handkerchief in his pocket.

Magasin des Modes Nouvelles Françaises et Anglaises, 30 septembre 1787, 32e cahier, 2e année, Pl. 1. Original description translated into English: The young man, on whom we have depicted the current fashion, is dressed in a Louviers cloth coat with broad dark green stripes and broad dark red stripes, which are clear and pronounced. Many different colours of cloth with two very broad faded stripes are worn. Some even wear cloth with three stripes, but in these cases the middle stripe is smaller than the other two, blending into each side and, so to speak, merely linking and nuancing the other two stripes. The two blended stripes are usually pale yellow; purple and red; purple and pink; blue and yellow; etc. The three stripes are purple, pink and sky blue: the pink stripe in the middle; grey, white and blue: the white stripe in the middle; scarlet, yellow and purple: the yellow stripe in the middle; etc. The young man's coat is lined with red twill and trimmed with dark purple piping. Under his coat, the young man wears a white waistcoat, edged with a long white silk trim; Casimir cloth breeches, where the seams of the garters, buttonholes, and drawstring, now narrow, are made of green silk and form delicate embroidery. We may recall that two months ago, we said that this fashion for seams of various colours was beginning to catch on; it is almost the only one accepted today. The young man wears white silk stockings. His shoes have large oval buckles. [Text continues on next image]

[Detail from plate] Continuation of the original description translated into English: In his pockets, he has two watches, one of which has a gold chain adorned with gold charms, and the other a simple blue silk cord adorned with a very large key, either in gold, silver, or crystal surrounded by a gold circle, or in agate similarly surrounded by a gold circle. His hair is curled into two very long curls on each side, and in a Greek style at the back, parted in a horseshoe shape at the back and falling slightly in a shell shape on his forehead. At the back his hair is tied in a long plait à la Panurge. His shirt is trimmed with cuffs and a jabot of fine batiste, all plain. Around his neck is a wide cravat, which is wrapped three times and forms a medium-sized bow at the front. He holds his hat in his hand, refurbished in the Androsmane style. He is depicted bowing in greeting as he walks along a public promenade. Rijksmuseum object number RP-P-2009-1659A

Journal des Luxus und der Moden, 1790. No description for this plate. I wonder what other dress historians think the type of gown portrayed is? Looks like a robe en chemise, but the open skirt of the gown showing the petticoat underneath is throwing me off. #FashionPlateFriday #dresshistory #18thc

Close up of the fashion zoomed in on the (amazing!) pink jacket and hat. Can't remember seeing an 18th century jacket like this in a plate before. Seems like reverted v-shape open front?
