The last dozen or so posts have been fairly well organized, but I don't think this one will be.
January 1798, fig. 166, morning dress. I'm interested in the back construction there - the shape of the pieces, and the roundness of the waist.
March 1798, fig. 172, afternoon dress. "Robe à la chemise of fine muslin, with a rich chain-pattern embroidered border, trimmed with white satin; short sleeves, drawn and trimmed in the middle with broad lace; Queen Elizabeth's trimming of rich broad lace round the neck."
April 1798, fig. 176, afternoon dress. "Head-dress à l'antique. ... Round dress of white muslin, the body in small plaits, with a herringbone back; drawn full sleeves; the whole trimmed with Roman-pattern gold lace."

Petticoat of white muslin; robe of the same, short full sleeves, trimmed with lace, and tied in the middle with an embroidered lilac riband; the whole bordered with an embroidery of flowers, and tied in the front with lilac riband."
182: "Round gown of cambric, flounced with yellow crape in small Vandyke scallops, and headed with lace; short open sleeves, looped in three different parts with gold buttons: jacket skirts of lace, and trimming of lace round the neck and sleeves."
183: "Caul of muslin, trimmed with a frill passing under the chin; a large artificial rose in the front. Round gown of muslin, embroidered in purple and in dice pattern, short close sleeves; Spencer, with epaulettes and laps in side-plaitings trimmed with lace."

185, afternoon dress: "Petticoat and robe of white muslin, trimmed round the neck with lace; short close sleeves, the upper part cut out, and looped upon the shoulder, and in the middle of the arm, with gold buttons; the different breadths of the robe looped also together with gold buttons."
