I loved the illustrations of current fashions in Elizabeth Shackleton's memorandum books, although I imagine that by the time she got around to seeing them, they were probably out of date.  Although being in the first stare of fashion did not seem to be paramount to these genteel ladies, I got the impression that dress was still an important indicator of their level of gentility. |
