Abstract:
"A lady wearing an enormous hooped petticoat, long pointed stomacher, a calash hood (see British Museum Satires No. 5434, &c.) over a large plain cap, stands with a small nosegay in her left hand, and with a closed fan held to her cheek. She looks down at a young woman (right), who bends forward in profile to the left, with the stoop of 1817, see British Museum Satires No. 12939. The modern woman wears a flaunting bonnet with a cylindrical crown, a scoop turned up from the face, trimmed with flowers and many feathers. She has bare breasts and shoulders, a very high waist, and projecting skirt (above the knee), and large bishop sleeves; her arms hang downwards in the fashionable pose; in her right hand is a large reticule. Her flat slippers are bound to the ankles and legs with ribbons, en cothurne. Below the upper margin: 'The London Modest Ladies once hoop petticoats wou'd Wear But now forsooth they are not Dress'd unless their B-s Bare'."--British Museum online catalogue
