Le Mode Illustree, you have done it again! I about fell over when they started posting late 1790’s fashion plates. Then they went over the top and posted four segments of the plates. Talk about drool! Here are a few of my favorites. Please go over to their site and check out the rest!
Just beautiful! I love the military details.
I think my good Sir needs an outfit like this.
I love the coat; the muff, on the other hand is too huge.
And of course my good Sir wishes I would procure this fetching ensemble.

Wow, LOVE that first spencer!
OMG, thank you sooo much for this! I'd seen a tiny version of the first picture in a regency fashion book and couldn't locate a bigger version. (I found some wool the exact same colour recently, not knowing what to do with it until seeing this in said fashion book.)
Finally I can recognize enough details to make it! <3 The front will remain guesswork, though.
My goodness, that muff really IS gigantic!
i have a huge softspot for anything with military detailing as well!
This is one of my favourite eras, those plates are beautiful, I especially love the first one.
The spencer in the first picture is indeed lovely (the details on it are great), but I do have a soft spot for the second pic.
There's something about the crisp contrast between blue and white, the simplicity of the outfit, and the cute bonnet that I find charming.
The second pic is strange! It is from 1799 (year 7 of the revolution) but the gentleman has a extremely deep waist, the back-buttons are on his hips...
Ooops, the last one seems to be a kind of 18th-century-burlesque-dancer ;)
Love the muff, because it somehow reminds me of a huge cosy hideaway cat bed;)
And thanks for the first fashion plate. Great inspiration for my planned winter' pelisse.
Thank you for these - they're all lovely in one way or another. And one of my favourite periods, dress-wise. (Can't say I'd love the male fashions so much, but I certainly like them much more than those of the preceding period.)
