Woman with spiral sleeves; profuse ruffs and flounces; kerchief key-holder. When one talks of flounces; refer back to the reign of Louis XV; and look at the portrait of your grandmother. Have patience; miss. That which causes such disdain today will excite you in a little while; and it won't be one falbala but many that you want to wear. Illustration by Jean-Baptiste Isabey. Handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre; Paris; 1817.
