Galerie des Modes, 28e Cahier, 2e Figure
Another Lévite, the petticoat of a different color, the sleeves of the color of the petticoat. The Lévite like the Circassienne, having only mancherons: in place of a scarf, a ribbon belt. This figure is coiffed with a fashionable black hat. (1780)

Green monkey, which has become rather common in Paris for some years, gamboling to catch a pomegranate.

ReplyDeleteWhat.
On the other hand, I genuinely like this levite ensemble. It allllmost looks as if it could have a hood. How awesome would that be?!
IDEK, it's not even colored green.
DeleteIt would be very cool! I think that's just a wide collar, though. The hoods in these plates are always, I think, pointed out in the text.
Sigh. A girl can dream.
